Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Swells are regular patterns of smooth, rounded waves that have traveled a great distance from their original source (usually a storm). Breakers are waves that collapse and break onshore or on a reef. Wave ripples are small, symmetrical waves formed by wind blowing over the surface of water. Wave trains refer to a series of waves of different sizes and frequencies traveling together. Tidal bulges refer to the bulges in ocean water caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.
