Why Ocean Waves Grow Larger Far From Shore
为什么海浪在远离海岸处变得更大
-
Waves get energy from wind blowing over open water for long distances.海浪从长距离吹过开阔水面的风中获取能量。
-
This distance is called fetch, and longer fetch means bigger waves.这段距离称为‘风区’,风区越长,海浪越大。
-
Deep water lets wave energy spread and build smoothly.深水能让波浪能量平稳扩散并增强。
-
Near shore, friction with the seabed slows and shortens waves.靠近岸边时,海底摩擦会使海浪变慢、变短。
-
Biggest waves form where strong winds blow steadily across wide oceans.最强劲的海浪形成于强风持续吹过广阔海洋的区域。
-
Storms far out at sea can send giant waves toward land.远在海上的风暴可将巨浪推向陆地。
-
Surfers watch ocean forecasts to find ideal wave conditions.冲浪者关注海洋预报,以寻找理想的海浪条件。
-
Wave size depends on wind speed, time, and unobstructed water space.海浪大小取决于风速、风时及无障碍水域范围。
