Why do we study ocean waves?

The Japanesse people and other people who are affected by tsunamis. They need to be more aware and warned when tsunamis are going to happen. People are already warned if there is an earthquake but it is not good enough. That is why it is important to study the ocean and their waves. If we had a better advance    warning system we would have less deaths.

Coastal Animals

The Marine Iguana only lives at the Galapagos Island. The Iguana can dive over 30 ft into the water. It can live and eat food in the sea witch is cool because no other lizard can. When the lizard is on land it has to be on the watch for birds because the birds eat the lizards. When the waves crash into the rocks they grip the rocks with their sharp claws.

World Current

The wind blows the water wich makes currents, but the coriolas effect also takes place. The equator is why we have warm currents because it changes the water teperature. The polar regions is why we have cold water currents. When the earth rotates wich makes wind blow the currents.
