Waves on the surface of a liquid are a series of peaks and troughs. The drawback occurs when a trough reaches the coast, and a tsunami when a peak arrives.
Kind of makes sense, although wouldnt there be any occassions when the peak hits before the trough ?
Yes. Drawbacks don't always occur.
Okay. Thanks![]()
