12
Breakers At water depths ____________________, waves feel the __________ Wave __________ increases Wave __________ decreases __________ decreases because waves are dragging on the bottom Wave __________ stays the same When wave reaches 1.3 H => _________
14
Wave Refraction Wave crests can ________, or bend, if they approach the shore at an ____ Caused by the change in ______ of waves as water depth __________ Only a small part of each wave feels __________ at a time so only a small part of wave __________
17
