How Waves are Made - Bono

* Waves are a product of the wind.
*The best waves for surfing are the result of the interaction of winds on the surface of the ocean, far away from the coast.
*Wind is the first step in the formation of surf able waves.
*Local shore winds can also produce waves, but they can also destroy the quality of the breaking waves.

*Onshore winds are typically known for creating choppy and bumpy waves because their effect is added to the direction of the wave.

  • Waves are mainly a product of the wind.
  • The best waves for surfing are the result of the interaction of winds on the surface of the ocean far away from the coast. Wind is the first step in the formation of surface waves.
  • Local shore winds can also produce waves but they can also destroy the quality of the breaking waves.
  • Onshore winds are typically known for creating choppy and bumpy waves because their effect is added to the direction of the wave.

How waves are made

  • Waves is mainly a product of the wind.
  • Wind is the first step in the information of surble waves.
  • Local shore ways can also produce waves.
  • They can also destroy quality of the breaking waves.
  • In a way, offshore winds are a sort of a counterbalance.
  • Swell comes from miles away and  the wind works as a pause hold effect on the wave face, allowing longer unbreakable waves.
  • In theory, low pressure systems are responsible for creating good and strong waves.
  • If winds created in low pressure systems keep blowing the surface of the ocean for  the ocean for a long time.
  • Along the way, until they are ridden by surfers, these waves will have to challenge other variables.
  • Waves make their way through the ocean and are affected by the differences in the ocean floor.

How Waves Are Made - Anthony

How Waves are Made
1.Wind is the first step in the formation of surf able waves.
2.Swell comes from miles away and the ground wind works as a pause-hold effect on the wave face, allowing longer unbreakable waves.
3.The friction created by these winds helps them form energy waves.
4.In theory low pressure systems are responsible for creating good and strong waves.
5.Local shore winds can also produce big waves.

Spiders - Moses

Hunting the hunter by Mary Sutherland Facts about Spider

This article is about spiders.

  • Not all spiders catch their food in webs of sticky silk.
  • Some hunt for their food, stalking and pouncing on their prey, just like a cat.
  • Many hunting spiders are night - shift workers.
  • The best time to find a hunting spider is after dark
  • Here are the equipment you will need to capture a hunting spider,a torch, and a friend.
  • A  hunting spider has eight eyes and six work like mirrors.
  • Most spiders are active at night time.
  • It helps them avoid being eaten by birds.
  • If you shine a light in a straight line at the spider it will reflect back in a straight line.
  • It is  very likely to be a wolf spider in your garden.

  • In deep low pressure systems, wind speed is greater and more waves are generated by the power of the gusts.

Fishing Methods - Bono

Although there are many types of catching fish, they fall into three groups

1. Catching fish singly or in schools by use of nets or spears 

2. Trapping fish in stationary gear, such as fish traps or set nets 

3. Attracting fish to get caught on hooks by use of bait, artificial lures or other means such as light 

Before you go fishing you must decide what is the best method to use. There are many factors to consider - especially if you are a commercial fisher. Factors include:
  • where you are fishing
  • what species you are fishing for
  • the weather and sea conditions
  • the cost of the boat, gear and fuel
  • the market requirements
