Document Summary
Chapter 8 questions: all ocean waves start as disturbances and the energy that causes ocean waves to form is called a disturbing force. When the wave reaches the 1:7 ratio, the waves break as surf: the largest wave ever recorded was taken from the uss ramapo in 1933 in the pacific. The wave height was 112 feet and it formed from a typhoon: as the trough of the tsunami arrives at the shore, the water will rapidly drain off the land.
