1. Once a wave has been generated its speed may change, but its period does not as this characteristic is determined by the generating force. 2. Deep-water waves (waves of oscillation) a. Deep-water waves occur where the water is deeper than 1/2 the wavelength of the waves. b. In deep water the velocity of a wave is a function of wavelength. c. Waves are created in storm centers or by the steady winds of the westerlies and trades.
Are tsunamis 'deep-water waves' or 'transitional water waves', and why? So are they affected by the ocean bottom? In the open ocean they are typically less than 1 meter in height, but build to heights up to 30 m when approaching the shore.ath of water in wind-generated waves: . . Some types of waves can only be sustained by maintaining the disturbing forces (e.g. gravity's influence on tide). Waves are sustained because restoring forces continue past the water level of calm seas resulting in oscillation.
