Did you know that bathymetry is the study of and mapping of the ocean floor? The shape of the sea floor effects how waves travel through water and break on the shore. Spilling breakers crumble gently when the sea floor rises slowly, whereas plunging breakers produce the rolling waves favoured by surfers, typically near reefs or rocky headlands. By contrast surging waves occur when the shore is almsot vertical, and produce a rhythmic rise and fall of the sea surface. . 📸: @kaneartie.photography . . . #ocean #sea #waves #topography #bathymetry #sciencefact #marinescience #thisiswa #westernaustralia
