a.) How many types of waves are shown in the model?
b.) Which wave caused the most damage to the boat?
Wave | Amount of energy in wave | Amout of boat damage. |
|---|---|---|
X | ||
Y | ||
Z |
High E
Moderate E
Low E
Using the pattern revealed in questions 1-2, write a single sentence explaining how a wave’s energy level influences the amount of damage it can inflict on boats moored at a dock.
Water Waves - Amplitude and Energy of Water Waves
How many amplitudes are show in the model?
a.) Add a double-arrow vertical line to each wave to display the amplitude of each wave.
b.) Determine the amplitude of Wave X and Z and record that on the line to the right of each wave.
a.) How does the amplitude change from wave X, Y, and Z?
b.) Look at the energy of each wave in the model. Compare wave X to waves Y and Z. How does the energy of X compare to Y and Z?
c.) How does the energy change from wave X, Y, and Z?
Based upon the relationship between the amplitude and energy of each wave, as highlighted in the above questions, in one sentence, describe how the energy changes as the amplitude of a wave changes.
Next, revisit the relationship between damage to boats and energy of waves from the first model.
In one sentence explain how the amplitude of a water wave would impact the damage to a boat.
Match each wave amplitude to the amout of boat damage.

Tidal waves (sometimes referred to as tsunamis), are huge, high energy waves that are often caused by deep ocean earthquakes that occur far offshore.
For questions a and b, you must use the words/concepts - amplitude and energy - in your answers. Also, seperate your answer to each with a double-space (hit the space bar two times).
a.) If you owned a boat that was moored at a dock, and you were unable to move to high ground, what is one action you could take to protect your boat and yourself?
b.) Do not change your answer to 10a. Perform a web search (not an AI search) for, "Methods to protect your boat in a tidal wave." Read a few of the sites and compare/contrast their tips to your answer provided in 10a. Discuss how accurate or inaccurate you were.
c.) From the web search, what were two pieces of information that surprised or fascinated you? You must provide the address to the websites used. If this part of the question is not performed, you will not receive points for this question.
