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.

consider their functional differences why do you think the walls of arteries are proportionately thicker than those of the corre
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The veins and arteries encounter differences in the pressure of the blood flow. As a consequence, these differences are seen in the composition of the vessels. The arteries encounter with a pressure wave as blood gets pumped from the heart. This can be experienced as a pulse. Due to this pressure, the arteries' walls are much thicker in comparison to those of the corresponding veins.  

Thus, arteries appear to exhibit more uniform shape, they seem to be more circular in shape in comparison to veins. Veins do not encounter with the pressure waves like the arteries do. Thus, they do not require to be structurally strong. The vessels' walls of veins are thinner in comparison to arteries and do not exhibit much tunica media.
