Question

meet Rogue waves occur when wave O periods O crests O wavelengths O troughs Question 2 0.5 pts Why is the Pacific Rim a hot bed for tsunamis? e The Pacific Rim is just as likely as the Atlantic Rim to generate tsunamis. O Because it has more plate boundaries that cause earthquakes O Because it has stronger ocean currents. Because it has fewer islands than other ocean basins Question 3 0.5 pts Most waves are created when is transferred to water by the frictional stress of wind blowing over it e Kinetic Energy o Potential Energy o Tidal Energy Siesmic Energy

Answer 1

Answer to Q 1: b) Crests (crests are the highest points in waves and when such crest interfere with one another, they add and create a higher wave crest which presents itself as a rogue wave)

Answer to Q 2: b) Because it has more plate boundaries which cause more earthquakes (and it is the earthquakes that are the main culprit of such tsunamis)

Answer to Q 3: a) Kinetic energy (kinetic energy is the energy that is imparted to an object by the property of being in motion, so when winds move they accumulate kinetic energy which they then impart this kinetic energy to the water surface creating waves)
