How are waves affected by water depth?

When deep-water waves move into shallow water, they change into breaking waves. When the energy of the waves touches the ocean floor, the water particles drag along the bottom and flatten their orbit . Transitional waves occur when the water depth is less than one-half the wavelength.

When deep-water waves move into shallow water, they change into breaking waves. When the energy of the waves touches the ocean floor, the water particles drag along the bottom and flatten their orbit (Fig. 4.18 B). Transitional waves occur when the water depth is less than one-half the wavelength (D < 1/2 L).

is it a purebred? it looks more like a red nose, but it doesn't have the red could it be a staffordshire bull terrior? unsure if that's the right name for it sorry

i belive it is water
