Answer to Question 1

Warm sea surface temperatures appear to contribute to the generation of large hurricanes. Secondly, an
atmosphere with little or no shearing to interfere with vertical circulation.

Answer to Question 2

Wave crests approach shorelines at an angle most of the time. Because of this, part of a wave will
reach the shore before the rest of it does. The end of the wave entering shallower water will feel
bottom at a depth equal to half its wavelength and begin to slow down. The rest of the wave will
continue to advance at the original velocity, creating a curve or bend in the wave crest, which is called
refraction
