Question

lilah loves to skip rocks on lakes - her record is 21 skips! what type of wave does she create on the surface when she skips rocks? (1 point) capillary surface tidal breaker

Explanation:

When skipping rocks on a lake, the waves created are surface waves. Surface waves occur at the interface between two media (here, water - air). Capillary waves are very small - scale waves dominated by surface tension (usually much smaller than rock - skipping waves). Tidal waves are large - scale due to gravitational forces (moon, sun). Breaker waves are when a wave "breaks" as it approaches shore (not relevant to rock - skipping). So, the wave created by rock - skipping is a surface wave.

Answer:

B. surface
