  14. Tsunamis • Sudden shifting of the ocean floor due to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and submarine slumping. • open ocean: short heights, long wavelengths (>100 km), and long periods -- 400-500 mph!!! • shallow water: their length shortens and their height increases dramatically.

  26. Other Types of Progressive Waves • There is one other notable type of progressive waves. • Internal waves which occur underwater and move along pycnoclines.

  27. Internal Waves • Slower speeds than surface waves because the density difference between water masses is less than between air and water. • They occur when water masses slip over one another. • They have very long periods and very large heights.

  28. Advection Along Internal Waves

  29. Standing Waves • Seas, swell, and surf are progressive waves. • Standing waves (seiches)… • Oscillate back and forth about a nodei.e., a fixed point. • Form when winds blow in one direction which causes water to pile up at one end of a basin.

  30. Node = Fixed Point Antinode = maximum displacement

  31. Summary • Waves are disturbances that are generated on or beneath the sea surface. Progressive waves move along the sea surface. • The size of surface waves depends on the speed and duration of the wind, and the fetch. • Waves affect water to a depth equal to or less than one-half their wavelength. • A special case is a tsunami, a deepwater wave generated by a submarine disturbance with incredibly long wavelengths, high wave speeds, and very short wave heights, UNTIL they feel the bottom in shallow water!

  32. Summary(Cont.) • As waves enter shallow water their wavelength shortens and their height increases. • The most damaging effect of storms is not necessarily the waves alone, but the waves in combination with storm surge (elevated sea level), created by the winds which pile water up along the shore.
