OCE EXAM 3 PRACTICE TEST 2023 -2024 Most ocean waves form as a result of: landslides. seismic events. winds blowing across the ocean surface. Earth's rotation. density differences between water layers. - CORRECT ANSWER -winds blowing across the ocean surface. The movement of air across the ocean surface creates ________ waves. tidal ocean splash turbidity atmospheric - CORRECT ANSWER -ocean The movement of sea water at a pynocline creates ________ waves. turbidity internal tidal splash ocean - CORRECT ANSWER -internal Ripple like clouds in the sky are an example of ________ waves. turbidity atmospheric splash internal tidal - CORRECT ANSWER -atmospheric Tidal movement, turbidity currents, wind stress, and even passing ships at the surfa ce create ________ waves. ocean tidal turbidity internal splash - CORRECT ANSWER -internal Large icebergs that fall from coastal glaciers create ________ waves. internal splash turbidity ocean seismic sea - CORRECT ANSWER -splash The uplift or downdropping of large areas of the sea floor creates ________ waves. tsunami splash ocean tidal internal - CORRECT ANSWER -tsunami ________ waves also known as push -pull waves. Longitudinal Orbital Refle ctive Refractive Transverse - CORRECT ANSWER -Longitudinal ________ waves also known as side -to-side waves. Longitudinal Orbital Reflective Refractive Transverse - CORRECT ANSWER -Transverse ________ waves also known as interface waves. Longitudinal Orbital Reflective Refractive Transverse - CORRECT ANSWER -Orbital Of the following events, which is/are capable of generating waves? Choose all that apply. a storm moving over the ocean surface a rock falling into a still pond uplift or downdropping of the ocean floor human activities, such as a ship traveling across the ocean an underwater landslide - CORRECT ANSWER -a storm moving over the ocean surface a rock falling into a still pond uplift or downdropping of the ocean floor human activities, such as a ship traveling across the ocean an underwater landslide Which of the following statements is correct? The faster the wave, the greater the wave height. The greater the wave height, the deeper the wave base. The greater the wave height, the faster the wave travels. The longer the wave, the faster the wave travels. The longer the wave base, the deeper th e wave base. - CORRECT ANSWER -The longer the wave, the faster the wave travels. The ratio of wave height to wavelength is called the: wavelength. period. wave height. wave steepness. frequency. - CORRECT ANSWER -wave steepness. The time between two succe ssive waves is called the: frequency. crest. trough. period. height. - CORRECT ANSWER -period The speed of a deep -water wave is proportional to: water depth. wavelength. wave speed or celerity. wave frequency. wave height. - CORRECT ANSWER -wavelength The speed of a shallow -water wave is proportional to: wave height. wave period. water depth. wavelength. wave frequency. - CORRECT ANSWER -water depth. The high parts of the waves are called ________. crests bump s tops hills breakers - CORRECT ANSWER -crests The low parts of the waves are called ________. holes hollows troughs bottoms breakers - CORRECT ANSWER -troughs The time it takes one full wave to pass a fixed position is called the ________. wave drift waveform wavelength wave frequency wave period - CORRECT ANSWER -wave period The longer the ________, the faster a deep -water wave travels. wave frequency wavelen gth waveform wave drift wave period - CORRECT ANSWER -wavelength
