WavesWavesWaves come in many kinds and sizes, it is best to think of them as a continuous spectrum extending from waves so small they can hardly be seen. somewhere in the midst of the spectrum are the waves we are all familiar of. Waves rang in size from the ripples in a pond to the great storm waves of the ocean and the tides, whose wavelength is half the distance around the earth. Waves are measured in a certain way, the crest is the high point of the wave. The trough is the low point of the wave. The wave height is the vertical distance from trough to crest. The wave length is the horizontal distance between adjacent crests. Wave period is the time in seconds for a wave crest to traverse a distance equal to one wavelength. Here are the groups of waves in order, ripples, 1-4 seconds, wind chop 1-4 seconds, fully developed seas, 5-12 seconds, swell, 6-16 seconds, surf beat, 1-3 minutes, tsunamis, 10-20 minutes, tides 12- 24 hours.
The WavesWaves movement is a global event.
The largest wave ever measured and counted is estimated to have arrived in New Earth by a short time after the Great Cyclone of 1857. These were a wave of magnitude 5,000 strong and had been caused at the tip of the Red Sea by a gigantic cyclone of massive size. The larger wave, known as the Great Cyclone was measured at about 14,000 miles long at the mouth of the Bering Strait on January 1st 1858 and was later identified as being less than 15 miles short of New York Harbor, just 50 miles off the East Coast. The Great Cyclone was the largest wave on record and made landfall on 23 February 1858. Its peak intensity was the largest possible, extending to over 8 miles. In this case, the Great Cyclone caused no death or damage.
The Great Cyclone and its successors are still active in the Bering Strait for at least 40 days, according to several international news reports such as:
1). March 20, 1961, in a press conference that caused the biggest wave ever measured to move its distance from the shoreline of New York to a depth of 1,000 feet in the sky (from the coast to the Bay of Naples); 1. April 20, 1961, by a scientific expedition of scientists from the University of California-Los Angeles.
2). In a short interview with Reuters, Dr. James G. Pomerantz, a professor responsible for modeling the speed of waves (an important part of physics with respect to the study of waves) and whose work is cited in The History of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration website, confirmed his prediction that the Great Cyclone at 14,000 ft would have been one of the largest ever measured in the ocean and that it was only in the past few years that some scientists began to believe that it was indeed the largest of all waves ever recorded.
When will the Great Cyclone be counted?
The total of all other waves measuring at least 15,000 miles from shore was almost entirely by accident (and perhaps most intentionally), but many measurements are still being made. These include:
3). April 11, 2002, after a study of nearly 17,000 people on the Bering Strait, and the presence of two enormous wave bands from that day of the Great Cyclone, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
4). April 23, 2006, by a scientific expedition of researchers from the University of Washington;
5). June 3, 2009, by a scientific expedition of scientists and students from the National Park Service;
6). August 13, 2018, by volunteers from the National Weather Service;
7). December 5, 2011 and September 7, 2010, according to NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information.
8). February 18, 2012, by scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. That has now been confirmed by a recent analysis of an international survey of the Bering Strait. This suggests that it may take at least a century for wave measurements of 15,000 feet to reach New Zealand.
Wave heights in the bering Strait are not known, and they are not very well known. Wave length is estimated to have crossed one of the largest scales in the history of physics. However, a measurement of 15,000 feet may not accurately take into account the large distance along the bering Strait if it were ever expected to reach the coast. Since the first of these waves was recorded 15,000 years ago,

The earth is surrounded by two great oceans, an ocean of air and an ocean of water. Both are in constant motion, driven by the energy of the sun and the gravity of the earth. Their motions are linked the winds give energy to the sea surface and ocean currents are the result. The currents carry heat from one location to another, altering the earth’s surface temperature patterns and modifying the air above. ocean waters are always in motion. Currents flow like rivers, waves crash against seashores and tides rise and fall.
Currents are created by the sun warming ocean layers in certain areas like the equator. The warmer water expands slightly, creating a slope, and the warm water runs downhill toward poles .ocean waves are created by the wind. Energy in the form of waves move across the ocean surface but the water itself moves in a circular motion beneath the surface. Tides are rhythmic ,predictable and are affected by the gravitational pull of the moon. Tidal range can vary dramatically depending on the shape of the water basin that the tides flow through.
Everything from earthquakes to ship wakes creates waves, however the most common cause is wind. As wind passes over the waters surface friction forces it to ripple. The strength of the wind the distance the wind blows and the length of the gust determine how big the ripples will become.
