They are all around us.” Science of Summer: How Do Ocean Waves Form? http://www.livescience.com/38361-how-do-ocean-waves-form.html “One of summer's greatest pleasures for the lucky beachgoer is listening to the rhythmic lapping of ocean waves. A number of factors power this trance-inducing phenomenon, but the most important generator of local wave activity is actually the wind.” ____________________ DNews is dedicated to satisfying your curiosity and to bringing you mind-bending stories & perspectives you won't find anywhere else!

It is a common science misconception, that the amplitude is the whole height of the wave. Surfers do refer to height of a wave; trough to peak, as that is the part they surf. Scientifically the surfing height of the wave (1:17) is double the amplitude.

wind/storm has nothing to do with it
And you're welcome.
I can't really explain it any better than that.
A wave almost pulled me into the sea but, luckily, my uncle caught me
I tell you nature has a way of showing you how small we really are and who´s boss.
Do not ever underestimate Mother Nature. She rules no matter what the tiny humans may think.
I know that you have to tell us a little bit of info about the subject before you answer the actual question, but for some reason it can't hold my atention and I just switch the video before the answer comes up. :/
but my question is
why do we kiss while we have sex?
wave...
period...
I... I'm sorry Mama!
I tried to get an A! I really did!
#finalsproblems
The biggest wave I ever seen was there.
Can you answer this question: Why does air travel as bubbles inside water?
maybe?

love that movie.
1958 Lituya Bay Alaska 1720 ft.
1963 Italy 820 ft.
1964 Alaska 100 ft.
1980 Mount St. Helens 853 ft.
2004 Indian Ocean 108 ft.
2011 Japan 133 ft.
A wave created by tides, even from a black hole, would look nothing like the wave in the movie. It would look like tides on earth, except that it would be much higher and faster. It would not be steep, but so shallow you would only notice the water level rising. Of courses, Hollywood needs something more dramatic.
the movie will always be one of the most interesting movies of all time
