Compare And Contrast Rogue Waves

Jordan Brown Mrs. Carey Language arts, period 4 10 April 2024 Rogue waves and tsunamis Did you know that a rogue wave is two times the size of a normal wave and tsunamis because they have several waves. Rogue waves are a single wave that is taller and stronger than a normal wave because the winds and tsunamis are 50 to 100 ft tall! Rogue waves and tsunamis have similarities in locations but are different in the way they are formed. First, usually rogue waves are in deep water and are in the middle of the ocean. In the article it says, “The formation of deepwater rogue waves is a semi-regular phenomenon of the coast of South Africa, where the agulhas current intersects with opposing trade winds but can also occur in the Atlantic Ocean and the

In addition, the cause of rogue waves is caused by wind strength, storms, current collide, and ocean depth. In the article it states, “Many factors can affect the waves height, including wind strength, ocean depth, and the presence of islands and other obstacles” (Simmons 2). This shows how rogue waves are usually created. Rogue waves are created by wind strength, current collide, storms, and ocean depth. In conclusion, rogue waves are found deep in the ocean and usually occur when waves collide with each other and how lots of additional things can cause a rogue wave such as wind strength, storms, and ocean depth. Then tsunamis are close to shore and caused by lots of natural disasters. Usually tsunamis are near the middle of the ocean but do go toward shore. Usually tsunamis are near the ring of fire. In the article it states that tsunamis are most likely to occur on lands surrounding the Pacific Ocean. This is the western coastline of North and South America, the Aleutian chain and the eastern coastline of Asia to Japan, this region is called the “Ring of Fire”( Simmons 62 ). In this paragraph it shows where tsunamis are located. And how they are closer to shores than rogue
