11
Q

Waves which fall forward since the forward velocity of the crest particles exceeds the velocity of propagation of the wave itself. In deep water this normally occurs when the wavelength L IS LESS THAN Times THE WAVE HEIGHT (L<7H) and in shallow water with depth d is approximately equal to 1.25H (H is wave height)

A

16
Q

An abnormal rise of the sea level that occurs when a typhoon passes by. This rise above normal level in the open coast is due to atmospheric pressure reduction as well as due to wind stress

A

Storm surge

17
Q

Waves created by large sudden impact such as earthquakes volcanoes or landslide that and apps in the ocean

A

Tsunami

18
Q

The motion of the ship which tends to rotate the ship about its longitudinal axis due to see water waves

A

Rolling

19
Q

The motion of the ship which tends to rotate the sheep about its transverse due to see water waves

A

Pitching

20
Q

The motion of the ship which tends to rotate the sheep about its vertical axis due to the sea water waves

A

Yawning

21
Q

A vertical motion of the ship up and down due to sea water waves

A

Heaving

22
Q

The motion of the ship which tends to move horizontally on its side due to sea water wave

A

Swaying

23
Q

The horizontal motion of the ship along its longitudinal axis due to sea water waves

A

Surging
