11. Why are there are no hurricanes further north than 40 °N? (a) the water north of 40 °N is too cold b. there is not enough Coriolis force near the Poles to form hurricanes c. there are no large oceans north of 40 °N 12. Which set of 2 waves would result in the pattern seen below? Ant AA 13. Ocean depth affects the speed of: a. deep water waves Sea level (m) 1 0 -1 14. Use the graph of the wave below to work out if it will break or not. Note - a wave will break when its steepness is greater than 1/7. Wave steepness = wave height / wavelength 0 b. shallow water waves 10 20 30 Distance (m) 40 C. 50 both deep and shallow waves 16. Which of these images shows a spilling breaker? a. Wave will not break b. Wave will break 15. What causes waves to break and bend as they approach the coastline? a. Waves speed up as they get closer to land due to higher gravity b. The wind which causes the wave to move changes as it approaches land Waves slow down as they get closer to land due to friction with the sea floor
