Changing characteristics of modification of wave in moves the deep water to shallow water

Sea waves are mainly created by wind. In the friction of the wind, the waves move to the shore. Much energy is released by the waves to shore. When the sea waves reaches from the deep sea to the shallow sea, the characteristics of the wave changes according to friction of water particles, such as the wave length, wave velocity, wave period, wave power, wave height etc. Changing characteristics of modification of wave in moves the deep water to shallow water follow-
(i).Wave Length: Wavelength is the horizontal distance separating two wave crests or two wave troughs.
                                   The wave length decreases gradually from the deep sea to the shallow sea. Deep sea waves lengths are meant because deep sea wave lengths to be very large. The relatively small waves in the shallow sea are easily understood.
(ii). Wave Celerity/Velocity (C): In the shallow seas, the velocity of the waves decreases for the friction of the ocean floor. In the deep sea, single wave velocity is higher than ground wave velocity. But when it comes to the shallow sea, this two wave become equal because the single wave velocity is gradually decreases when it comes to shallow sea.   
(iii). Wave Period (T): The time it takes for one complete wavelength to pass a stationary point. When the wave velocity decreases, the wave length decreases so wave period remain same.
(iv). Wave Power (P): The wave power in the sea waves does not increase at all, stay the same.
(v). Wave Height: When dept of the water is decreases, single wave velocity (C) also decreases, but wave power (P) remain same. So the wave height gradually increases in the shallow sea.

vi). Orbital Movement of Water Particle:  As the wave form moves across the sea surface the water particles beneath also move, but since they rotate around closed orbits there is no net forward displacement of the water particles. The orbital diameter of the water particles will decrease with depth. Whenever wave goes toward the coasts with decreasing depth the vertical axis of water particles decrease & horizontal axis become more increase & laminar. After breaking the wave parallel movement of water happened near coasts.

Concentric zone theory

Theories of City Structure-Concentric Zone Theory Introduction: The Concentric or Zonal Theory of urban landuse was first proposed in 1923 by E.W. Burgess. He was a sociologist. The idea behind the concentric model is that the development of a city takes place outwards from its central area in a series of concentric circles to form zones.  Assumption:        i.           Cultural & social heterogeneity of the population.       ii.           Commercial-industrial base to the economy of the city.     iii.           Private ownership of property & economic competition for space.     iv.           Expanding area & population of the city.       v.    ...

Future scenario of Renewable Energy Resource in India

Future scenario of Renewable Energy Resource in India: The Indian Government has increased the target of renewable energy capacity to 175 GW by the year 2022, which includes 100 GW ( gigawatts) from solar, 60 GW from wind, 10 GW from bio-power & 5 GW from small hydro-power. Source 2022 Target (GW) Solar 100 Wind 60 Bio-Power 10 Small Hydro-Power 5 Future Scenario of Solar Energy:       Solar power in India is a fast developing industry.       The country’s solar installed capacity reached 29.55 GW as of 30 June 2019.       India has become globally the lowest cost producer of solar power.       The Indian Government has increased the target of renewable energy capacity to 175 GW by the year 2022, which includes 100 GW from solar. Advantage: Advantage of using solar energy is its eco-friendly nature. It does not release CO 2  and o...

Different Types of Tide

Tides are periodic, short-term changes in the height of the ocean surface at a particular place caused by a combination of the gravitation force of the moon & sun & the motion of the Earth. Sparing Tides: When the moon, sun & earth are located along the same line, then the attraction power of the moon & sun is intense. For this high tide is created, this types tide is called sparing tides. Fig: Sparing Tide Neap Tides: When the sun & moon are at a 90° angle to the earth, then their rotation is reduced to earth. Because the moon & the sun do not draw the opposite direction, so the tidal velocity decreases. And its height is lower than the normal tide. That types tide known as neap tides. Fig: Neap Tide Tropical & Equatorial Tides: When the moon is perpendicular to the tropic of cancer, then the force of attraction is relatively high & created high tide. This tide occurs twice in a year. This types tide is known as tropical tides.  ...
