Waves transmit energy, not water, and are commonly caused by the wind as it blows across the ocean, lakes, and rivers. Waves caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun are called tides. The ebb and flow of waves and tides are the life force of our world ocean.
Correct Answer: [None] Response Feedback: ï· Question 10 4 out of 10 points When you are at the beach, you notice that the waves seem to break at the same point as they come towards shore. Explain what is happening beneath the surface to cause the waves to break at this point. Selected Answer: Breakers form when orbital particle motion at the trough of the wave slows more rapidly than at the crest. The water at the crest of the wave will move forward and outrun the base of the wave.
