Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The disturbing force of a wave can vary. Capillary waves are created by wind blowing across the
ocean's surface, but other waves are generated by atmospheric changes and seismic activity.
Information can be found in the section Waves Are Classified by Their Physical Characteristics



Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
They can have large wavelengths. They may be responsible for mixing nutrients in surface waters
which trigger plankton blooms. Information can be found in the section Internal Waves Can Form
between Ocean Layers of Differing Densities.
