define wave base and how deep is it
56, 400 16. Wave base is the limiting depth of particle motion as swell passes through a volume of seawater. It is equal to Â½ the wavelength, i.e., wave base = (1/2) * ï¬ï¬ï where ï¬ is wavelength. 17. They follow a circular path. 18. The diameter decreases with depth. 19. The answer is 800 meters/2 = 400 meters 20.
