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
When skipping rocks, the waves created are on the water's surface. Surface waves are waves that travel along the interface between two media (in this case, air and water). Capillary waves are very small - scale waves caused by surface tension (usually much smaller than rock - skipping waves). Tidal waves are large - scale waves caused by gravitational forces (like tides). Breaker waves are waves that "break" as they approach the shore (not relevant to rock - skipping). So the type of wave created when skipping rocks is a surface wave.
