Horizontal Distance Between Rainforests And Feathers

As stated by Bowditch, in his journal entitled Ocean current (2002); said that ocean waves are very nearly in the shape of an inverted cycloid. The highest parts of the wave is called crests, and lowest between, troughs. Because the crests is narrower and steeper than the troughs, the mean levels or water still level is a little lower than halfway between the crests and troughs. Vertical distance between trough and the crest is called the height of the wave, labeled H. Horizontal distance between successive crests, measured in the direction of travel, called wavelength, labeled L. The time interval between passage of successive crests at a stationary point is called wave period (P). Wave height, length, and period depend upon a number of factors,
