Generation of Waves
1. caused by wind (meteorological)

3. earthquake and land slide (geologic)
Waves Result from:

2. changes in atmospheric pressure
21. Anatomy of Waves
Length
H – height Crest
T – time
L – length Height Depth
D – water depth
Wave Break: Time
D = (4/3) H (shallow water)
H = 1/7 (L) (deep water)
22. 1st quarter
Neap Tide
Full Moon Spring tide Spring tide New Moon
Neap Tide
3rd quarter
23. Waves
WC – wave crest
WT – wave time/period
WH – wave height
WD – wave depth
Shallow water break happens when ¾ H ;
i.e Drag/Friction at the bottom of the wave
happens
Tides – the periodic rise or fall of sea level due to
gravitational attraction between sun, moon
and earth
24. Neap Tide (1st & 3rd Quarter)
Gravitational Pull
Centrifugal
force Moon
(rotation of the
earth in its
axis) Spring Tide
25. Classifications:
Semi-diurnal – 2 Low and 2 High
Diurnal – Single Low and Single High
Mixed – Semi-diurnal and single low/single
high
Spring tide (S – M – E aligned)
Neap tides (S – M- E at 45o angle)
26. Currents
Horizontal current – wind driven ( westernlies, easterlies, trade
winds) Caused by prevailing wind patterns
Deep Vertical Currents
C-slope, C-rise and abyssal plain (the result of salinity and
temperature gradient)
Air - mixture of different kinds of gases
Process;
First;Equator and at warmer latitudes, heated air
expands and rises
Later:
Low pressure area is produced and cooled air moves
Rising air is carried north or south of the equator and
eventually cools, contracts and sinks, creating a high
pressure area
27. Deflection of air masses : to the right in N. Hemisphere
and to the left in S. Hemisphere due to Coriolis effect
because of the spinning of the planet.
Easterly Tradewind
- produces the equatorial current
EQ Current : North – western B. current
Eastwind - Western Trade wind
Vertical Currents
Upwelling/Downwelling Caused by:
1. halocline/thermocline (salinity/density and
temperature grdient)
2. Offshore winds – push the surface and cause the
deep water to move to the surface.
28. 3. Divergence – produced when deep water
and surface current interaction occurs that
is possible when currents pass through
another current
4. Wake strain – nearby water surface is
pulled along with a strong current
5. Turbulence – due to rapid current passing
over shallow and rough benthos
