What do you think the answer could be. Give an educational guess

anonymous · Answer

A.B,C or D are no

anonymous · Answer

so can you help me yes or no?

anonymous · Answer

Okay, I really need you to think and see if you can at least guess which one could possibly be correct. OpenStudy is NOT a place to just give answers away.

thank you them bye

@child-of-the-sea come on help me

anonymous · Answer

the low friction of waves at the shoreline    there is quite a great amount of friction

 the high friction of waves at the shoreline   this would slow down the wave and produce less damage

 the high amplitude of the waves at origination   at origin waves ahve a low amplitude

 the long wavelength of the waves at origination    this is true, often times it is unknown that a tsunami has occures at the place of origin. A boat can be on top of the epiceneter when it occurs and not even notce.
