Ocean Waves
1.
Rouge waves form when there is destructive wave interference.
- True
- False
2.
A breaker forms when wavelength and wave height as the wave nears the shore.
- decreases; increases
- increases; decreases
- decreases; decreases
- increases; increases
3.
A result of wave refraction is
- wave energy is concentrated on headlands projecting into the water.
- wave energy is concentrated in the recessed areas between headlands.
- wave energy is largely dissipated before the wave reach the shore.
- headlands are enlarged as sediment is deposited on the seaward side.
4.
Which of the following lists ocean waves from smallest to largest?
- seiches, chop, capillary waves, swells, tsunamis, tides
- swells, capillary waves, seiches, chop, tides, tsunamis
- capillary waves, chop, swells, seiches, tsunamis, tides
- chop, seiches, swells, capillary waves, tides, tsunamis
5.
In a wave, water molecules
- move in circles that decrease in size with depth.
- move toward the shoreline.
- move in a vertical motion to the sea floor.
- don't move.
6.
The majority of wave erosion occurs from
- the daily wave activity.
- deep sea currents.
- longshore currents.
- storm waves.
7.
Which of the following does NOT affect wave height in deep water?
- wavelength
- wind speed
- wind duration
- fetch
8.
Which of the following increases when a wave enters shallow water?
- wave speed
- wave height
- wave length
- wave period
9.
Wave steepness is the ratio of
- wave height to wavelength.
- wavelength to speed.
- wave speed to wave period.
- wave period to height.
10.
What is the difference between a wave and a current?
