The response that BEST describes the definition of a wave is:
energy moving through a fluid
This definition captures the essence of what a wave is, as waves represent the transfer of energy through a medium, such as water, without the permanent movement of the medium itself.
To calculate the wavelength, you would need:
the distance between two adjacent waves
Wavelength is defined as the distance between consecutive points of the same phase on a wave, typically measured from crest to crest or trough to trough.
The statement that BEST summarizes why a wave breaks is:
The wavelength is bigger than the depth of the water.
Waves break as they approach shallow water because the wave's speed decreases and its height increases, leading to instability and ultimately causing the wave to break when the height exceeds a certain limit relative to the water depth.
The type of wave Lilah creates on the surface when she skips rocks is:
surface
Surface waves are generated on the water's surface when an object (like a rock) disturbs the water, causing ripples that spread out from the point of impact.
The phenomenon of a huge patch of garbage floating in the northern Pacific Ocean is caused by:
ocean gyres
Ocean gyres are large systems of rotating ocean currents that can trap and concentrate debris, including plastic and other types of garbage. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a well-known example of this effect.
