When piper cuts her finger, sensory neurons in her fingers detect the stimuli (knife to cut the vegetables) and, through a nerve impulse, send this information through connector neurons in the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system - and eventually to the brain. The information is then processed and then another nerve impulse is sent from her brain to her body so that she can react and respond to cutting her finger (which likely is to move away from the knife). Hope this helps a little.

The destructive force of waves is not felt while they are out at sea, in the open ocean, but it is
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

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.
