I wanted to talk a little bit about how waves are formed. And the truth is that most of the waves that we see in our coasts. They are formed very far away. Are there are stones in the middle of the ocean where the wind from the stones tracks the surface of the sea over a large extent of water, and that extent of water is called fetch? So, we basically need three ingredients. We need wind spin, wind duration and the fetch length, and the larger the ingredients, the larger the waves. OK, so we have this area in the middle of the ocean. We will have all of these waves of different sizes getting together that's quite similar to the first image that Killian. I think his presentation. So, in deep water, the waves travel at the speed that is given only by the size of the waves. So, the larger waves travel faster. So, think about long distance race. Think about the Olympics and the 10,000 kilometres rather, and so you have the pack of runners starting in the beginning of the race and then as the race progresses, they runners are slowly breaking up into different groups. This is what happens with waves. So, we have the generation area where we have the waves, all of different sizes, and then the larger waves are go faster than the smaller ones and they keep on separating small groups of different sizes.
What are the main factors that contribute to the formation of waves and their behavior in deep water and shallow water?
