Question : 16 [SSC CML Pre 2000]
Waves approaching the shore is known as
a) Tide
b) Currents
c) Swash
d) Tsunami
Answer »Answer: (d)
Tsunamis have a small amplitude (wave height) offshore, and a very long wavelength (often hundreds of kilometres long, whereas normal ocean waves have a wavelength of only 30 or 40 metres), which is why they generally pass unnoticed at sea, forming only a slight swell usually about 300 millimetres above the normal sea surface. They grow in height when they reach shallower water or the coast.

a) South Australia
b) East Australia
c) Central Australia
d) West Australia

Question : 18 [SSC LDEO 2011]
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the
a) Moon on the Earth
b) Sun and Moon on the Earth
c) Earth on the Moon
d) Earth on the Sun
Answer »Answer: (b)
Tide-generating forces (TGF) are a result of the gravitational attraction between the earth, the sun, and the moon and the centrifugal force due to the relative motions of the moon around the earth, and the earth around the sun.
While these forces exactly balance on average, the local mismatch at the earth's surface creates a horizontal force directed towards the surface points closest and farthest from the moon.
