Correct Answer

Options:

1. Tidal waves
2. Tsunamis
3. Oceanic currents
4. Sea waves

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Undulations of sea water characterized by well-developed crests and troughs
2. Low, broad, regular and rounded ridges and troughs of water
3. A regular pattern of smooth, rounded waves that characterize the surface of the ocean during fair weather
4. The upper and lower parts of the waves

Correct Answer

Options:

1. The height of wind-generated sea waves
2. The distance between two successive crests or troughs of a sea wave
3. The length of water surface over which the wind blows
4. The time taken by a sea wave to cover the distance of one wavelength

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Wave period
2. Wave frequency
3. Wavelength
4. Wave height

Correct Answer

Options:

1. There is a direct relationship
2. There is an inverse relationship
3. They are not related
4. They are equal

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Yes, they move forward with the wave
2. No, they move in a circular orbit
3. They move both forward and in a circular orbit
4. They do not move at all

Correct Answer

Options:

1. The orbit of particles decreases with increasing depth from the water surface towards the sea bottom
2. The orbit of particles increases with increasing depth from the water surface towards the sea bottom
3. The orbit of particles remains constant with increasing depth from the water surface towards the sea bottom
4. The orbit of particles disappears with increasing depth from the water surface towards the sea bottom

Correct Answer

Options:

1. They remain in the same area where they were generated
2. They move randomly in different directions
3. They radiate outward from the generating area of the sea
4. They disappear after a short period of time

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Wave velocity
2. Wave frequency
3. Wave period
4. The extent of fetch

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Waves with longer wavelengths and lower heights
2. Waves with shorter wavelengths and greater heights
3. Waves with irregular patterns
4. Waves with medium wavelengths and heights

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Both the wavelength and wave height increase
2. Both the wavelength and wave height decrease
3. Wavelength decreases and wave height increases
4. Wavelength increases and wave height decreases

Correct Answer

Options:

1. One-third of the wavelength
2. Half of the wavelength
3. One-fourth of the wavelength
4. Twice the wavelength

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Plunge line
2. Swash
3. Surf
4. Breaker

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Plunging breakers
2. Spilling breakers
3. Surging breakers
4. None of the above

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Plunge line
2. Swash
3. Surf
4. Breaker

Correct Answer

Options:

1. When the velocities in the wave crest and wave body are almost equal
2. When the wavelength and wave height are equal
3. When the wave moves rapidly shoreward
4. When the wave suffers from friction and distortion

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Oscillatory waves move particles in circular orbits while translatory waves move particles forward at the same velocity as the wave form.
2. Oscillatory waves move particles forward at the same velocity as the wave form while translatory waves move particles in circular orbits.
3. Oscillatory waves and translatory waves both move particles in circular orbits.
4. Oscillatory waves and translatory waves both move particles forward at the same velocity as the wave form.

Correct Answer

Options:

1. High-frequency waves and low-frequency waves
2. Constructive waves and destructive waves
3. Plunging waves and spilling waves
4. Longshore currents and littoral currents

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Because they generate a powerful backwash that combs down the beach
2. Because they plunge and generate a powerful backwash that combs down the beach
3. Because they lose volume and energy rapidly while moving up the beach
4. Because they are generated by high-velocity winds striking the coast obliquely
