Small tracks of water are left on the ice as kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy
A wave will "break" because the bottom interferes with its oscillatory motion. Breaking of waves may occur anywhere that the amplitude is sufficient, including in mid-ocean. When waves enter shallow water they break because the motion of water in lower part of the wave nearest the bottom is slowed by friction so that their oscillation is faster than its supporting portion at the bottom. Thus, the wave collapses forward and breaks.
