Waves

Waves. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd2jtwviyC8. Waves. When undisturbed by wind (or some other factor such as an earthquake), the sea surface is naturally smooth! Waves are moving energy and begin as a disturbance Wind blowing across the surface of the ocean generates most waves

Tides - The Last Wave

Tides - The Last Wave. Information by the University of California (Riverside) updated in 2010. 6 hours later. Tides are rhythmic variations of sea level with periods of approximately 6 or 12 hours, depending on where you are on Earth. Tides are caused by an imbalance*

Waves

Waves. Classifying Waves. Waves are classified according to type of force that disturbs the water to make the wave. Wind Waves. Wave progresses as the water moves in a circular path. Orbital Motion of Wind Waves. Water moves in orbits Orbits get smaller the deeper you go.
