The movement of water molecules within a wave move in circles that get smaller with a depth then they dissapear.
The wave anatomy is mainly made up of 5 parts. These are the Crest , which is basically the highest part of a wave , the lowest part is the Trough, the vertical distance between the Crest and the Trough is called the Wave Height ,and finally the horizontal distance between two adjacent Crust is the Wave Length.
Most waves are generated by wind. This is because this blows through the surface and by the friction across the surfaces , creates series of bump ripples .
Waves reach their maximum size when they grow faster ,higher and lower ,they nearly reach speed of the wind.
The largest waves are located in the Antartica and in the Indian Ocean..This is because the wind that is created there is really strong and cross miles of wind sea really fast.
A Wave Train is a under water waves chains , that keeps moving leaving behind air ,and also travel in different directions and with different speeds.
A Rouge Wave are freakishly larges waves.These have a constant behavior change. They are also created by the interference of Wave Trains.
The water of shallow places are in constant changes behaviors, when these are 1/2 of their length they can feel the surface of the floor that they are going to touch.As they drag across the bottom they speed decrease., causing them to refract.
Tsunami are the powerful , largest and energetic waves on Earth. These are different from the wind generated waves because these are created by geological events and wind generated waves are created by wind on the surface of the sea.
As water touches the surface Swash which is a foaming sheets of water is created.
Some of the causes of Tsunamis are mostly created by Geological events that push away water , such as asteroids , earthquakes , etc.
Wave power comes from inside of the nucleus of the Earth. This has a high magnitude ,such a Tsunami. Scientist have created generators,desalination plants , power plants and water pumps or fans that work with energy.So by wave power scientist can create something that works with this energy as well.
Since the power of a wave is really high and could manage a nuclear plant the amount of energy that will generate will be huge.
Tsunamis had killed a lot of people during long time ago. One of the biggest Tsunamis (Dec 26 , 2004 ) Killed 230000 people. So we can have an estimate of how many people have been killed although the the years.
What can be done about tsunamis to help protect people and property?
Some of the main things that we can do to protect people is to give free information and education about what to do in Tsunamis and what are some of the insures to protect their house of Tsunamis , Earthquakes, etc.
