Giant internal waves can move down the side of submerged mountains and are detected by
  temperature differences between water layers. Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Question 2

Orbitals of wind waves close to shore have elliptical orbits due to the proximity of the bottom. Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
Internal waves are progressive waves that occur at the junction between water layers of different
densities. Internal waves move slowly because the density difference between the joined water masses
is very small. they are important because they can mix nutrients into surface water and trigger plankton
blooms and can also affect submarines. Internal Waves Can Form between Ocean Layers of Differing
Densities

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
The orbits of water molecules begin to flatten out as a wave enters shallower water. This alters the
waves behavior. Information can be found in the section The Behavior of Waves Is Influenced by the
Depth of Water through Which They Are Moving.
