Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A, C, and D all relate to characteristics of ocean waves. Wave height refers to the vertical distance between the trough and crest of a wave, fetch refers to the distance over open water that wind can blow in a constant direction, and wave period is the length of time it takes for two consecutive wave crests to pass a fixed point. Wave refraction, on the other hand, refers to the bending of waves as they approach the shore and is not directly related to the characteristics of the waves themselves.
