Shallow Waves Affected by Shallow Waves Affected by BottomBottom
In shallow water, the sea bottom In shallow water, the sea bottom transforms the wave’s properties. transforms the wave’s properties. This leads to This leads to wave refractionwave refraction and and waves collapse forming waves collapse forming surfsurf (breakers).(breakers).
