Answer to Question 1

Answer: Polyps, Anthoza

Answer to Question 2

Answer: An ocean wave is made by wind transferring kinetic energy to the sea surface. The top of the water is deformed into wave form and can travel extraordinarily long distances away from the wind which caused it. Waves are usually of less height in the open ocean and translate into taller waves as the shallow water near the coast interferes with their original oscillatory motion.
