In a cartoon, a bunny is surfing on a 10 foot wave crest that is rapidly approaching the shore. The wave crest travels onto the shore intact, with the bunny still on top of it, and continues to carry him across level land for the next twenty miles. This sort of thing can't happen in real life because
A) wave crests are made from local water and there is no water on land from which to build the crest.
B) friction between the moving wave crest and the land will slow the crest to a stop in about a mile.
C) the wave crest will begin to roll like a wheel once it reaches the shore and the bunny will be run over by it as it turns.
D) the bunny is in an unstable equilibrium and won't be able to stay on top of the crest for more than a mile or two.
