Water is moved toward shore by a wave true or false?
True. Waves carry water towards the shore by transporting energy from the open ocean to the coastal areas.
What is the name for a great wave on the open ocean?
Tidal or rogue wave.
Waves start in the open ocean true or false?
The answer is true.
Which is not about a wave in the open ocean?
The waves in the open ocean are usually caused by the friction of the winds over the open ocean of water. The waves in the ocean vary in strength and size depending with the speed of wind and the friction with the surface of water.
What speed does a tsunami wave move through the open ocean?
23 mph
How both a wave's energy and the water in a wave move?
Ocean water within a wave moves in a circular motion in open water. As the wave approaches the shore, the water becomes shallow and the bottom.
Is an ocean wave mechanical wave?
Yes, an ocean wave is a mechanical wave, since the water is the medium of the wave.
When a wave passes through the ocean it does what?
When a wave passes through the ocean it may make a wave.
What makes an ocean wave wave?
An ocean wave is a disturbance on the surface of the ocean caused by energy transfer from wind. As the wind blows across the ocean, it creates ripples that develop into waves. The energy from the wind is transferred to the water, causing it to move in a circular motion, creating the characteristic rolling motion of waves.
What wave is similar to an ocean's wave?
A sound wave
How long does it take for a wave to cross the ocean?
depends on the size of the wave and what ocean it is in
Before a tsunami the ocean appears that it is at low tide?
True... The Tsunami 'draws in' water - which makes the local ocean appear to vanish... before the wave hits the shoreline
