 1.HOW DOES A WAVE FORM?

  A WAVE BEGINS AS THE WIND RUFFLES THE SURFACE OFV THE OCEAN. WHEN THE OCEAN IS CALM AND GLASSLIKE , EVEN THE MILDEST BREEZE FROMS RIPPLES , THE SMALLEST TYPE OF WAVE .RIPPLES PROVIDE SURFACES FOR THE WIND TO ACT ON , WHICH PRODUCES LARGER WAVES.

STRONGER WINDS PUSH THE NASCENT WAVES INTO STEEPER AND HIGHER HILLS OF WATER. THE SIZE A WAVE REACH DEPENDS ON THE SPEED AND STRENGTH OF THE WIND THE LENGTH OF TIME IT TAKES FOR THE WAVE TO FORM , AND THE DISTANCE OVER WHICH IT BLOWS IN THE OPEN OCEAN----KNOWN AS THE FETCH . A LONG FETCH ACCOMPANIED BY STRONG AND STEADY WINDS CAN PRODUCE ENORMOUS WAVES.

2.HOW DO TIDES FORM?

TIDES ARE THE REGULA DAILY RISE AND FALL OF OCEAN WATERS . TWICE EACH DAY IN MOST LOCATIONS , WATER RISES UP OVER THE SHORE UNTIL IT REACH  ITS HIGHEST LEVEL OR HIGH TIDE . IN BETWEEN ,THEN WATER RECEDES FROM THE SHORE UNTIL IT REACHES ITS LOWEST LEVEL OR LOW TIDE .

TIDES RESPOND TO THE GRAVITATIONAL PULL OF THE MOON AND SUN . GRAVITATIONAL PULL HAS LITTLE EFFECT ON THE SOILD AND INFLEXABLE LAND BUT THE FLUID OCEANS REACT STRONGLY . BECAUSE THE MOON IS CLOSER , ITS PULL IS GRATER , MAKING IT THE DOMINANT FORCE IN TIDE FORMATION.

BONUS FACT : 

IN NOVA SCATIA , WATERS AT HIGE TIDE CAN RISE MORE THAN 50 FEET HIGHER THAN THE LOW - TIDE LEVEL.
