Answer to Question 1

 In Chapter 10, you learned that the public and media have altered notions as to what a tidal wave is. They consider any large wave a tidal wave. Tsunamis are the most notable wave to receive this title in the media.
 Tidal bores are true tidal waves because they are generated by the rapid influx of tidal currents. They form at inlets and river mouths that are exposed to large tidal fluctuations.
 Tidal bores are steep waves that move upstream due to the force of an incoming tidal crest in an enclosed area,
 These waves move towards land at higher speeds than are theoretically possible for a given shallow-water wave at that depth. It travels rapidly upriver.
 The danger of tidal bores is reduced because they are predictable. They are associated with incoming tides.
