Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Wave period does not change as the depth in which the wave is moving changes. The wavelength
shortens as the waves go from deep to shallow water. Information can be found in the section The
Behavior of Waves Is Influenced by the Depth of Water through Which They Are Moving.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Even though there are drastic changes to the wave as it approached shore, it does not have a huge crest.
It surges ashore much like a very fast tide would. Information can be found in the section Water
Displacement Causes Tsunamis and Seismic Sea Waves.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
