Which of the following will produce the smallest ocean waves? a. weak winds that blow for long periods of time over small distances b. weak winds that blow for a long time over great distances c. weak winds that blow for short periods of time over small distances d. weak winds that blow for short periods of time over great distances

The smallest ocean waves are produced by:

C. Weak winds that blow for short periods of time over small distances

Explanation: For a wave to effectively be produced there need to be large wind, long period of time and a large distance of water. If they are all reduced, then there would be a reduction in the intensity of the wave.

a. it led to stricter immigration laws.

true. earthquakes are felt whenever there is a slip around a fault in the rocks below the earth. this reorientation of faults create sesmic waves and is known as earthquake, the severity of which is measured in richter scale. these are more prominent in hilly regions as the rocks usually form faults to balance the pressures on it.
