Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Waves that are moving faster than local wind and are sorted out by wavelength are called swells. Capillary waves are small, short-wavelength waves that are created by wind. Constructive waves refer to waves that are increasing in height and energy as they approach the shore. Surf is the result of waves breaking as they approach the shore. Wind waves are created by local wind and have a shorter wavelength.
