Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Regular patterns of smooth, rounded waves are called swells. Swells are produced by distant storms and have longer wavelengths than wind-generated waves, resulting in smoother and more consistent patterns. Breakers are waves that have formed and are breaking near the shore. Wave ripples are small, uniform waves that form on the surface of water under light wind conditions. Wave trains refer to a series of waves. Wavelets are tiny waves that are less than 1cm in height.
