Why are tsunamis usually harmless in open water away from the shoreline?

1 answer:

This is because I’d deep ocean,tsunami waves may appear only a foot or so high.But as they approach the shoreline and enter shallower water they slow down and begin to grow in energy and height.Since the tops of the waves move faster than the bottoms so it causes them to rise faster.So...if a tsunami is in deep waters it does not really hit the shore and splash around to hurt anyone or anything or any people.It is fine because it’s in the middle of the ocean and not on the shoreline.I hoped I helped even a little bit :3

Answer:

Low Frequency, Long Wavelength, and Low Energy Transfer

Explanation:

Radio waves are on the larger(and lower frequency) side of the electromagnetic spectrum. These longer wavelengths mean that radio waves have a lower frequency because it takes longer for larger waves to travel. Therefore, less radio waves can travel a certain distance in a minute than a wave of a shorter wavelenght(and therefore lower frequency). Radio waves are considered a low-energy transfer wave. This is because they can be used in most environments for communication, air-traffic control, and broadcasting with little to no harm to the organisms around them. Even though radio waves can be found all around us, because they don't carry much energy, we aren't harmed by the radio waves.

Lunna [17]

Answer:

PART A

Red: 7/29
Blue: 8/29
Yellow: 5/29
Green: 9/29

PART B

Red or blue: 7/29 + 8/29 = 15/29
Yellow or green: 5/29 + 9/29 = 14/29
Blue or yellow or green: 8/29 + 5/29 + 9/29 = 22/29

Explanation:

In this case where the question is asking or OR and the events are mutually exclusive (Mutually exclusive meaning you can't attain two or three different colors in one pick), the compound probability is the sum of the probability of each component event (Probability of Red OR Blue = P(Red) + P(Blue) = 7/29 + 8/29 = 15/29)
