Which of the following terms refers to the foamy bubbles of a breaking wave?
Duration
Fetch
Speed
Surf
is it d pls help me
LOL, another questionable question. Are you inland somewhere?
Duration is how long the waves last, not the answer
Fetch is how far across the bleak ocean the wind and waves have traveled to reach you. When waves build up they start short and low, but as they travel and the breeze continues, their spectrum changes to longer and faster waves so ou are in for more trouble if you have miles of fetch to windward and no breakwater. This is not the answer.
Speed is not foamy bubbles but I told you waht determines phase speed of an ocean gravity surface wave in your last question. - Not the answer
Well, I suppose surf could be called foamy bubbles, but not if it lands on you hard.
The term that refers to the foamy bubbles of a breaking wave is "surf." So, the correct answer is D.
The term that refers to the foamy bubbles of a breaking wave is "surf". To answer this type of question, it's helpful to have some background knowledge on the topic. If you are unfamiliar with the terms related to waves, you can try searching for the answer online or consulting a reliable source such as a textbook or instructional website on oceanography or surfing. Additionally, you can use the process of elimination by considering the other options provided:
- "Duration" typically refers to the length of time that something lasts, rather than a physical characteristic of a wave. Therefore, it is not the correct answer.
- "Fetch" refers to the horizontal distance that wind or waves travel over open water. It does not specifically relate to the foamy bubbles of a breaking wave.
- "Speed" refers to the rate of motion of an object, and in the context of waves, it does not specifically describe the foamy bubbles.
Considering the options, "surf" is the most appropriate term that describes the foamy bubbles created by a breaking wave.
