3+waves

Your outline is clear and nicely organized. Please include what you want the picture to look like -- describe what you're going to look for. Plan out which interactive activity you're going to use and put it into your outline. Keep in mind that you need to check for the student's understanding of all the key points in the project. Great work, girls! --Mr. Beyer
 * Great job on finding information! Your research is detailed and complete. Wow!

top of wave is called- crest distance between two successive waves- wavelength the time two successive wave crests meet the same point is called- period distance wind blows across the water is called- fetch periods for ocean waves are 2-20 seconds- wave range is 7-70 m/h Most waves go 35 m/h harder wind blows higher waves become

what creates waves?

1 when the wind blows wave particles will do summersalts but always end up in the same place they started. 2 water particles near the surface make the biggest sumersault 3 motion of the particles decreases as depth increases 4 the size of the wave depends on the wind and how long it blows 5 if the crest goes farther than the wave, it creates a white cap, kind of like foam on top of the wave 6 when a wave moves from a windy area of the ocean to a calm part of the ocean the crest becomes smoother, that is called swells, they can travel long distances even from one ocean to another. 7 even small waves have a lot of sand in them 8 during storms waves get bigger**

Earth's movement can also create waves for a tsumani a plate of earth's surface may suddenly drop. For other tsumanis or waves it could be a aftershock of an earthquake For example after the earthquake in Chile they thought strong and powerful waves would hit Hawaii and Japan. Well they were only three feet high but in the past there have been some taller.
 * The more wind blows in a certain direction the more stronger and powerful the wave will be.

Without winds that create waves many sea creatures could not survives. Benthos creatures and plankton could probably die. If phytoplankto died there would be major complications for the earth we know to day. ocean water never stops moving. if its not moving boats would not be able to travel on the ocean. no one exactly knows where a wave begins the waves could be one inche to 50 feet. the largest waves are found in the Paccific swells have been followed from the Indian Ocean past Antartica, through the Pacific, and onto Alaska. there are thousands of pounds of pressure in a wave, but when it reaches you it is slowed down and there is less pressure. In Norway scientists have built a device that can measure the waves.**
