Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Tides, storm surges, and seabed displacement can initiate a seiche. These have a constant frequency of
rocking back and forth especially in an enclosed area. Information can be found in the section Water

Answer to Question 2

Orbital waves have medium water moving in closed circles as the wave passes. These circular paths
transmit wave energy across the surface of the ocean. Information can be found in the section Ocean
