The destructive force of the wave is not felt while they are out at the sea but it is felt when they approach the shore.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When the waves are out in the ocean they are in deeper waters. Once they move towards the shore they approach shallow waters. This movement causes shoaling of the waves by which its amplitude increases.

When the wave reaches the shore its leading edge gets slowed down by coming in contact with the beach floor but its trailing edge which is still in deep water still moves rapidly. The wave thus gets compressed and its wavelength decreases. The amplitude of the wave then increases rapidly making the wave destructive.

What happens if people keep killing sharks and who wants to stop it and how may do we kill a year
Andrews [41]
If they keep killing sharks, then the shark population will become extinct, I'm not sure if anyone wants to put a stop to it at all. About 100 million sharks are killed by humans every year.
