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.
Confidence votes 77.6K. The basic differences are that the deep water wave spreads out and moves very quickly across open water. Wave height is not significant in these waves. When the wave reaches shallow water, however, it slows down at the leading edge.This causes the wave to bunch up and increase in height, even to dangerous proportions.he basic differences are that the deep water wave spreads out and moves very quickly across open water.
