Below what depth would a submarine have to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves with a wavelength of 24 meters?____ mActivity 12.2: Deep Versus Shallow Water Waves Pgs 201-202Refer to Figure 12.1 to answer the following questions. 1. Do particles in deep-water waves trace out circular or elliptical paths? 2. Near the shore in shallow water, do water particles trace out circular or elliptical  3. In shallow water, are water particles in the wave crest ahead of or behind those at the bottom of the wave? 4. As waves approach the shore, do their heights increase or decrease? Do wavelengths become longer or shorter? 5. In the surf zone, is the water in the crest of a wave falling forward or standing still? 6.
