Kindly answer all
Which statement regarding wave base is NOT true? When wave base is greater than water depth - the orbital motion becomes elliptical The depth of wave base is equal to one-half of wave length The motion of water below wave base is negligible (not noticeable) Wave base defines the maximum depth a river can incise (downcut) its channel _____interference produces larger wave heights and _____ tides. Destructive: spring Constructive: spring Constructive: neap Mixed: neap In regions characterized by two high tides per day (semi-diurnal), consecutive high tides are 12 hours and 25 minutes apart because: the tidal bulges are not aligned with the equator lunar tidal bulges are smaller than solar tidal bulges in the time it takes for the Earth to make a complete rotation (24 hours), the Moon has moved 12.2 degree in its orbit around the Earth and it takes 50 minutes to catch up the Moon rotates on its axis more slowly than the Earth rotates on its axisExplanation / Answer
Thus the correct answer is
When wave base is gerater than water depth - the orbital motion becomes elliptical.
Thus the correct answer is,
Constructive interference causes larger wave height and spring tide.
