Answer:

b. wind waves, seiches, tsunami, tides.

Explanation:

The wavelength of water waves is calculated measuring the distances between the trough (low point) portion of a wave.  Usually, the bigger the wave, the greater the wavelength.

wind waves: small waves caused by the wind.  These waves tend to be small and with a short wavelength.

seiches: are usually waves on a lake or other closed water bassin.  They can be pretty high from a human perspective, so they are definitely bigger than wind waves.

tsunami: we all know how big the waves of a tsunami can be, totally wiping out coastal cities they encounter, so that's pretty big waves, and big waves tend to be larger apart (so with a bigger wavelength) than smaller ones.

tides: yes, a tide can be considered as a huge wave... that's running throughout the planet.  We barely see it as a wave because we can only see one wave at a time, the next wave being tens of thousands of mile away.

The product of my number and twice my number is 128 what is half my number
Ad libitum [116K]

Let's call your number n. Twice your number is 2n. The product of your number and twice your number (so n multiplied by 2n) is 128.

Set up an equation:

n × 2n = 128

2n² = 128

Divide both sides by 2:

n² = 64

Square root both sides to isolate n:

n = 8


The question asks for half your number, so just half 8:

8 ÷ 2 = 4.


Half your number is 4.

yarga [219]
The correct option is LOESS.
Loess refers to a compacted yellowish deposit of wind blown sediments which is usually found extensively in the mid latitudes. Loess is formed by the accumulation of dust that had been blown by the wind. Scientists believed that about 10% of the earth's land area is covered by loess.<span />
