Answer:

There are three factors wind that determine the size of the wave: 1) the speed of the wind, 2) the distance over which the wind has blown, and 3) the length of time that the wind has blown. The greater each of these factors, the bigger the wave.

Explanation:

The speed of the wind is one determing factor of how large the wave will be because if the wind is higher, then (depending on where it's facing) it CAN make the waves higher if it is going in the same direction. And same does 2) and 3) also matter, the length also matters because then for that time, there will be large waves, and for 2), the distance also matters, because if you are in a place (on the shore) where there was high wind towards you for some time, then after some time, you will see large waves, but if you are not, then you will see normal waves.

Zinaida [17]

According to the article, jellyfish are invading the oceans near JAPAN. Fisherman in the area assert that the amount of fish and jellyfish in the waters have shifted drastically during their lifetime. There is a large abundance of jellyfish (making it difficult or impossible to fish some days) and a small number of other kinds of fish.

Humans may have caused this problem by over-fishing disrupting the balance of the underwater ecosystem. Jellyfish are eaten by some fish and compete with other species of fish. Also humans building docks, bridges, and other water infrastructures have led to a decline in habitat availability for jellyfish.
