Ocean Waves

people/industries regularly monitor ocean waves, and why is it important? Ocean waves are caused by winds. Strong winds cause larger waves which usually move up and down. Looking out at the ocean, people can see infinite of waves transporting water from one place to the next. People who are in charge of studying these waves are marine scientist better known as Physical Oceanographers. They study every aspect of the ocean such as check and track the deep currents and waves from start to finish, helping

An ocean wave does not form automatically, but rather builds up over a period of time. Wind pushes against the surface of the ocean. Over time, the wind accumulates ocean water. The swells of water that have been built up, then become a wave. Eventually the wave crashes down onto the shore. An ocean wave may have started out very small, but it has subtly grown into a huge wall of water. Individuals can be easily compared to an ocean wave. One can take small pieces of information from other people

Though many factors may affect the tides in the ocean, the main effect is from the moon’s gravitational pull. Tides are mainly created by the moon’s gravity and the rotation of the Earth. Since the moon has a large mass it exerts a large gravitational force on the Earth. As the Earth turns on it’s axis the ocean is maintained at the same level due to Earth’s gravity pulling inward as it’s centrifugal force pulls outward. Though this is disrupted by the moon’s gravitational force as it accelerates

Japanese language meaning harbour ("tsu") and wave ("nami"). Although in Japanese tsunami is used for both the singular and plural, in English tsunamis is well-established as the plural. The term was created by fishermen who returned to port to find the area surrounding the harbour devastated, although they had not been aware of any wave in the open water. A tsunami is not a sub-surface event in the deep ocean; it simply has a much smaller amplitude (wave heights) offshore, and a very long

The head of the King is encircled by an irregular green areola with multi-coloured flames. Beneath Virupaksa are a woman and an elephant rising from the ocean waves. The woman may have been a servant of Virupaksa because she is offering him a snake and is wearing typical servant clothing- a flowing skirt adorned with gold jewels. The elephant is playing an instrument that spurts out flying dragons. Tulachan

The Unknown refugees June 29th of 2017 The starless sky was casket-black and brooding. Even the clouds seemed morose. Gelid hands clasped algid steel as we gazed upon our foe. The cold north wind keened and mewled through both the valley and the soules of our men. The clouds cleared as their spears glimmered cruelly under the eerie moon. Its phantom flame sent ribbons of chrysalis- silver light spilling onto the upraised shields of our men. The monsters swarmed and swayed below us like corn

Nightmare. Heart pounding, lungs screaming, feet aching. Jesse quickened her pace as she tried to run away as fast as she could. She couldn’t believe it, everyone’s gone, everyone’s dead. *** Jesse felt as if her head was splitting into two as she opened her eyes slowly, the dark forest in front of her. She didn’t know where she was, she was slumped back against a tree, the car nowhere in sight. “A-Allerie,” she cried out, “Allerie!” She cried out again, louder this time. She felt worry well up

the office out the glass, front doors to see my family parked in the teeming parking lot. As soon as I got into the car, my dad hit the gas pedal and we were off to our beloved destination. Hours passed and we neared the beach, and I could see the ocean and the grainy sand. We were almost there and I could not contain my enthusiasm. I was as excited as a kid on Christmas morning! We got to the parking lot and I could see the towering building above me awaiting my presence. I leaped out of the car

ever imagined. The sound of the emerald green ocean water crashing against the shores filled my ears. Children ran along the shore, smiling from ear to ear while laughing amongst each other clearly enjoying their day. Some people were searching contently for sea shells, that were visible for miles. I looked out at the ocean, it stretched out far into the horizon; as far as my eyes could see. There were jetty’s that were perfectly placed within the ocean. I could smell the salt radiating off of the
