Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
These waves can be catastrophic. Currents can also contribute to a kind of rogue wave formed by wind
wave and surface current interactions. Information can be found in the section Interference Produces
Irregular Wave Motions

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The segment about Dr. Stegers arctic foothold being jeopardized by huge waves moving beneath the
ice is describing the movement which is like an earthquake at sea. Ice the size of city blocks are
falling and being smashed and ground together creating an ice quake. Information can be found in the
