Description: Uses principles discovered in the laboratory as a basis for interpreting the characteristics of waves and wave motion on the sea. Uses large experimental tanks to explain water refraction. Discusses the seismic waves which crossed the Pacific Ocean in April, 1946. Identifies the wind as the principle source of energy for waves., Uses principles discovered in the laboratory as a basis for interpreting the characteristics of waves and wave motion on the sea.

Complete Record: Uses principles discovered in the laboratory as a basis for interpreting the characteristics of waves and wave motion on the sea. Uses large experimental tanks to explain water refraction. Discusses the seismic waves which crossed the Pacific Ocean in April, 1946. Identifies the wind as the principle source of energy for waves., Uses principles discovered in the laboratory as a basis for interpreting the characteristics of waves and wave motion. Identifies wind as the most common sources of a wave's energy. Shows that waves are also caused in nature when an underwater earthquake alters the ocean floor, producing giant seismic waves., , NOTE: Two (or more) records have been merged together to create this data.
