  1. 1

    The celerity of shallow-water waves depends upon __________.
    1. Agravity
    2. Bdepth of water
    3. Cwavelength
    4. DBoth a and b are correct.
  2. 2Tsunamis are __________.
    1. Atidal waves
    2. Beep-water waves because they travel so fast over deep water
    3. Cshallow water waves because their wavelengths are far greater than the ocean is deep
    4. Dgenerated only by submarine earthquakes
  3. 3
    The time between the passing of successive wave crests (or troughs) is the __________.
    1. Awave height
    2. Bwave trough
    3. Cwave crest
    4. Dwavelength
    5. Ewave period
  4. 4Wind fetch is __________.
    1. Awind duration
    2. Bthe distance the wind blows over a continuous water surface
    3. Cwind speed
    4. Dwind turbulence
    5. EAll of the above are correct.
  5. 5
    Diurnal tides have a period of __________.
    1. A12 hrs
    2. B12 hrs and 25 min
    3. C24 hrs
    4. D24 hrs and 50 min
  6. 6
    Wave heights in a seiche in an enclosed basin are __________.
    1. Ahighest at the ends
    2. Bhighest at the node
    3. Chighest in the middle
    4. Dhighest at the antinodes
    5. EBoth a and d are correct.
  7. 7
    When deep-water waves approach shallower water and start to "feel" the bottom, the wave period remains constant but speed slows and the wavelength becomes shorter. Hence, the wave height has nowhere to go but __________.
    1. Adown
    2. Bsideways
    3. Cup
  8. 8
    For waves propagating through relatively deep water, the nearly circular orbits of water particles weaken with increasing depth and essentially disappear at a water depth of __________ the wavelength, known as the wave-base.
    1. Aone-quarter
    2. Bone-third
    3. Cone-half
    4. DNone of the above is correct.
  9. 9
    Constructive wave interference __________.
    1. Aseldom happens in the ocean
    2. Bis always happening in the ocean
    3. Coccurs when wave crests coincide making the resulting wave heights greater than the original wave heights
    4. Doccurs when a wave crest and trough coincide making the resulting wave heights less than the original heights
    5. EBoth b and c are correct.
  10. 10
    Non-astronomical factors affecting ocean tides include __________.
    1. Apresence of continents
    2. BCoriolis Effect
    3. Cwater depth
    4. Dcoastal configuration
    5. EAll of the above are correct.
