Waves

  • The summit of the waves is known as wave crest and the bottom part is known as wave trough.

  • The distance between two adjacent crests is the wave length and the vertical distance between the crest and the trough is the wave height.

  • The friction exerted by winds on the ocean surface is the reason for waves.

  • As the speed of the wind increases, the strength of the waves also increases.

  • Strong waves generated as a result of severe winds such as cyclones causes shelving of shores.

  • The sea surges during the south west monsoon season in June and July cause severe damage along the shores.
