Wave—rhythmic movement that carries ______through matter or space 1. Waves look like hills and valleys with the ______the highest point and the ______the lowest part. a. Wavelength is the horizontal ______between crests or between troughs of two adjacent waves. b. ______is the vertical distance between crest and trough. c. Half the distance of the wave height is called the ______of the wave d. Amplitude ______is proportional to the amount of energy the wave carries.</p><p>2. As a wave passes, only energy moves ______; water particles ______move. a. Water moves around in a ______b. Water below a depth equal to half the wavelength, is not ______by the wave motion 3. A ______is a collapsing wave near the shore. a. ______with the ocean bottom slows water at the bottom of the wave. b. Eventually, the top of the wave out runs the bottom and the wave ______. c. After a wave breaks onto shore, ______pulls the water back into the sea</p><p>4. ______forms waves as friction piles water up; wave height depends on wind speed, distance, and time.</p><p>B. The rise and fall of sea level, called a ______, is caused by a giant wave produced by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon. 1. ______—as the crest of this giant wave approaches shore, the sea level appears to rise.</p><p>2. ______—later, as the trough approaches, sea level appears to drop.</p><p>3. The ______is the difference between the ocean level at high and low tides. a. Some Atlantic and Pacific Coast of the US experience ______high tides and two low tides per day b. One low tide/high tide cycle takes about ______, a daily cycle of two high tides/two low tides ______(slightly more then a day)</p><p>4. Tidal ranges can vary; while most shorelines have tidal ranges between _____ and ______, some have ranges as low as about _____ cm or as high as ______m.</p><p>5. A wave that enters a river at rising tide is called a ______. a. Usually found in areas with ______tidal ranges b. When tidal bore enter the river it causes surface water to ______its flow c. In the Amazon River, the tidal bore rushes ______Km upstream at speeds of _____km/h causing a wave ___ meters in height 6. Tides are caused primarily by gravity in the ______system. a. Moons gravity exerts a strong pull on ______and the ______in the oceans b. The water bulges outward as earth and the moon revolve around a ______c. Two bulges of water form, one on the side of the earth ______to the moon and one on the ______side of the earth d. Moons gravity pulls ______on the side closest to the moon e. Where the ocean bulges would be ______, and areas of earths oceans not toward or away from the moon are low tides</p><p>7. When the Sun, Earth, and the Moon line up in certain ways, the Sun can strengthen or weaken the Moon’s effects. a. ______- Combine pull of the moon and the sun (higher high tides and lower low tides) b. ______– sun, moon and earth form a right angle (lower high tides and higher low tides)</p><p>Discussion Question What factors affect wave height?
