The answer is - wavelength.

As the wave approaches the shore and it reaches shallow waters it's characteristics start to change. When the wavelength is half of the water depth than the bottom of the wave starts to drag on the ocean floor. As it starts to do this the wave starts to slow down at it bottom as it approaches the beach but the upper part of the wave maintains its initial speed. Because of this the wave becomes longer. Once it reaches the shore it crashes on it and falls apart.

oee [108]

Answer:

Upwelling, the rising of water from deeper layers of the ocean, is a wind-induced movement that brings cold and nutrient rich water to the surface.

Explanation:

Marine resurgence is an oceanographic phenomenon that occurs when subsurface waters rise. These waters consist of a large amount of nutrients and have a lower temperature than surface waters, becoming colder. This phenomenon generally occurs in areas where primary production is high, or when there is strong fishing activity in the region.

In 2 ways how does proximity to water affect politics? (will mark brainliest)
dedylja [7]
Water has everything to do with politics, mainly because of large bodies of water being ports or pathways for ships to cross, it can lead to policies revolving around trade and taxes on imported goods.

If someone were campaigning someone could promise to reduce pollution in the area near the water, and promise to clean the water up and grab votes from the environmentalists or locals that (may) drink from the water or use it in some way.

The water cycle transports a plethera of microorganisms, and many of them are harmful for human beings. These include bacteria, protozoa, viruses, and lavae of high-ordered parasytes. Some of the aforementioned are Giardia, Cyptospordium, Shigella, E. coli, hepatitis A virus, and enterovirus.

Waters can also carry chemical wastes such as pesticides, and heavy metals dissolved in them. It is common to hear about acid rain as a result of pollution, and it originates as a result of mixing sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide with water molecules in the atmosphere.

There are several technological improvements over the past 100 years that have made the availability of clean water to communities a lot easier, and not only depend on boiling water. Filtration is the most common practice, it traps most unwanted particles and microorganisms, but it should be accompanied with chemical disinfection, which uses halogens to oxidize essential celluar structures and enzymes. In the present, chemical disinfection can even be achieved with adding a pill to a specific volume of water.
