17. 16Despite small size, capillary waves allow the more efficient transfer of wind energy into a wave. 16. Divergences bring nutrients to the surface and oxygen to the deep ocean. Wave reflection results in a loss of wave energy. 18. Common water is the most abundant water in the ocean. 19. Deep-water wave celerity is a function of wavelength, but shallow water wave celerity is controlled by water depth 20. In a gyre, water flows upslope in wind-driven currents and down slope in boundary currents. 21. Wave interference causes permanent changes to the waves that pass through each other. 22. The Sun produces gravitational and centrifugal tidal bulges, but the Moon only a gravitational bulge. 23. Fair-weather beaches have an expanded backshore and foul-weather beaches have an expanded foreshore. 24. High atmospheric pressure causes high barometric tides and low pressure causes low barometric tides.
