A typical Tsunami can have a wavelength of this.
What is 200 - 500 km
100
water molecules in a wave move in this pattern
What is orbital formation
100
a wave must occur in water that is greater than this depth
What is 1/2 the wavelength
100
these waves oscillate in large basins
What are seiche waves
100
the word tsunami means this
What is harbor wave
200
this is the lowest part of the wave
What is the trough
200
the transfer of this type of energy propels a surfer forward in a wave
What is kinetic
200
these waves are created by wind
What are wind waves
200
these waves are often called rogue waves and usually occur near continental shelves and at a depth of 200m
What is an episodic wave
200
a tsunami is formed by this disturbance
What is the displacement of water
300
this is the distance from the equilibrium surface to the crest
What is amplitude
300
water molecules within the wave that carry kinetic energy are observed at this depth
What is one half the wave height
300
these waves are created by an increase in energy which causes the waves to become bigger and faster
What are forced waves
300
when the wind blows the crest of a wave off.
What is a white cap
300
tHESE EVENTS CAN CAUSE TSUNAMIS
What are: landslides, underwater volcanoes, earthquakes and meterors
400
wind is considered this force
What is disturbing force
400
if the wavelength of a wave is 4m and the wave period is 2 seconds, what is the wave speed?
What is 2m/second
400
these are waves that break away from a storm center
What are free waves
400
when a wave progresses towards shore its water molecule pattern stars to do this.
What is flatten (oval shape)
400
the boxing day tsunami occured on this date
What is Dec 26, 2004
500
this is the cohesion of water molecules that acts as a restoring force for capillary waves
What is surface tension
500
If the speed of the wave is 6m/second and the wave period is 2 seconds, what is the wavelenght?
What is 12 meters
500
these are waves with a similar speed and period
What is a wave train
500
the height of a wave depends on this
What is wind speed, wind duration and fetch
500
these are warning signs of a possible approaching tsunami (3)
What is retreating water, birds and animals fly away, an earthquake
