The answer is parallel.

To add, absolute water depth has nothing to do with the difference between shallow and deep-water waves. On the other hand, the ratio of the water’s deep to the wavelength of the wave is that one that determines it. A deep-water wave’s water molecules proceed in a circular orbit while the orbit of the molecules of shallow-water waves molecules’ orbit are elliptical.

Answer:

Parallel with the shore line.

Explanation:

As the waves are generated on the sea or the open water they create a swell zone and this zone occurs in the deep waters, as the waves move further there peak velocity occurs with the winds.  

When they reach near the shorelines and thus they become transnational and these waves are carried forward to the breaker waves and these then merge with the shallow waves which are then flattened out on reaching the shores.

<u>Thus as they gradually slow down these waves form s a parallel or surf zones with the beach. As the shallower the waves the shallower is the flow of the water.</u>

Describe the differences between the mountain belts and the stable interior with respect to their age (young/old), elevation (hi
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Difference is given as under

Explanation:

  • Mountain belts or mountain ranges are a line of hills connected by high ground. Usually an orogeny most of them are a result of plate tectonic effects and maybe young may be old depending upon their characteristic composition. Like the Himalayas is a young fold mountain formed in the tertiary system of rocks.
  • Usually, the mountain is separated from highlands, valleys, and passes. Usually, they tend to regulate the climate affecting snow and rainfall patterns. As compared to the stable interiors upon concerning their age are mostly young as they are continuously on the move and their formation is impacted by erosion and continuous wear and tear of geomaterials.
  • Concerning the height, the continents are lower as compared to the high elevated landmasses. Though the continents have large landmass and landscape is composed of various elements as mountain belts are smaller as composed to chains connecting the continents at the edges and borders.
  • Only continental mountain belts like the arctic and antarctic circle have a large scale of mountain chains and ranges on earth that are since millions and billions of years ago the formation of super landmasses.
