Document Summary
Speed varies with latitude ex: 10 grams of water at 20 degrees, want to heat it to 80 degrees; how many. You measure the difference between the high and low tide levels at three locations in an ocean basin. The differences at each of the three points is a=2 feet, b=3 feet and c=5 feet. Why do you know that? when will a wave be influenced by the bottom? tsunami considered shallow water wave bc wavelength is so long anatomy of a wave heat budget. Ekman transport-45 degrees downward with a bet transport of water being 90 degrees. Know the difference between eastern and western boundry currents. Wind speed, wind duration and fetch determine wave size. Largest waves in southern ocean because the fetch is continuous. Neap tide and spring tide sun, moon and earth alignment. Monsoons are patterns of wind that change with the seasons. Atoms of water are held together by covalent bonds.
