Why Ocean Waves Get Bigger Near Shore
为什么海浪靠近岸边会变大
-
Waves travel fast in deep ocean water with little friction.海浪在深海中传播迅速,阻力很小。
-
As water gets shallower near land, the wave bottom slows down.靠近海岸时水变浅,波浪底部速度减慢。
-
The top part keeps moving faster and piles up higher.上部仍较快移动,从而堆高。
-
This makes waves grow taller and steeper before breaking.这使海浪在破碎前变得更高更陡。
-
Energy stays the same, but height increases as speed drops.能量不变,但速度下降导致高度增加。
-
Sandbars and rocks can focus wave energy in one spot.沙洲和岩石可将波浪能量汇聚到一点。
-
Surfers watch these changes to catch perfect waves.冲浪者观察这些变化以捕捉理想浪形。
-
Coastal engineers study this to build safer sea walls.海岸工程师研究此现象以建造更安全的海堤。
