Across
- 3. faster waves move through and ahead of slower waves
- 7. small waves created by surface tension
- 8. common type of breaker
- 10. must occur in water deeper than 1/2 the waves length
- 11. vertical distance from crest to trough
- 12. circular path
- 13. pulse of energy producing waves
- 15. wave that do not progress
- 16. the distance over water that the wind blows
- 17. highest point of wave
- 18. depressed lowest below the surface
Down
- 1. caused by sudden movement of earth's crust
- 2. time required for 2 successive crest or troughs to pass a point
- 4. alternations of low and high water at each end
- 5. caused by the spread of wave energy sideways to wave travel
- 6. enters water with a depth of less than 1/20 of wave length
- 9. force that causes water to return to undisturbed level
- 14. region of rapid seaward flow
