Which of the following best describes wave height?
A. The horizontal distance between two crests
B. The horizontal distance between two troughs
C. The vertical distance between the still water level and the trough or crest of the next wave
D. The vertical distance between the trough of one wave and the crest of the next wave

Respuesta :

The statement that best describes wave height is letter D - The vertical distance between the trough of one wave and the crest of the next wave. A wave looks like a sharp mountain, the crest is considered as the peak and the trough is the foot on the both ends. Vertically measuring the trough and crest describes wave height.
