Such as, Highest Astronomical Tide or HAT and this is explaining about the highest tides point that might occur. There are some types of meteorological condition about the tides. The gravity that affects the ocean water to create tides may come from earth rotation, the sun, and the moon.

The tides will move up and down (or we also know it as the rise and fall of ocean water) because of the gravity. If the waves it self is a horizontal movement of ocean water, the tides is a vertical movement of ocean water. There is also a big and wild waves where when it is combined with an earthquake beneath the sea it will create a tsunami.ĭifferent name different movement. Some place that are claimed to have a big waves are Hawai, Tahiti, Maui, and Chile. Because that will be so important for your safety. So, that is all about the waves, just make sure that if you want to go surfing in some certain beach that is claimed has a big wave, be careful of the sign and instruction there. And when you see the other part of the waves go lower than the water surface, it is the trough part. When you see the waves go higher than the water surface, it is the crest part. There are two parts of the waves it self which are the crest and the trough. This kind of energy that make waves so strong that even can harm anything in front of it including coral reef and even human. So the energy from the wind (motion energy) will be transferred to the wind. This is just a simple example of the existence of energy that is being brought by the waves.

You can fell the energy by standing in the beach and when the waves come and touch your feet, you will be dragged back to the sea. The wind that blows the waves in the ocean makes an energy transfer to the wave. That is why you will see the waves move back and front. That kind of friction that cause the waves exist. When the wind hit the ocean water there will be a friction exist between the water molecules and the wind molecules.

Waves can exist because of the energy transferred from the wind. Here is a further explanation about it.īasically, waves are a horizontal ocean water movement. And just like what I have said before, the movement of ocean water is divided into three major which are the waves, the tides, and the currents. But after we know the movement of water it self we can have more knowledge and we will be more careful about the water movement in the ocean. By this, it will be very dangerous for us to swim there. Taking an example when we go to swim to the beach, sometimes we don’t realize that there is a warning board there. Why it is so important? Because in some cases where we don’t know yet about it, we can harm our self.
