Waves....In a Nutshell
Crest: Hightest point of the waves
trough: lowest point of the wave
Wave height: vertical distance between crest and trough
Wavelength: Horizontal distance between 2 succesive crests
Still Water Level: What level the water would be if there were no waves
Period: time it takes for 2 sucesive wave to pass a fixed point
WAVES ARE MOVEMENTS OF ENERGY
SIZE of wave depends on.....
1) Fetch: span of open water of which wind blows
2) Speed of wind
3) How long long wind is blowing
