the beach


4.         In the ocean, the water is often more calm. As the waves move towards the beach they  become more distinct as shown by diagram 4.1. Study the shape and wave length  shown in  diagram 4.1.


            Di tengah lautan, air laut biasanya lebih tenang. Apabila gelombang semakin menghampiri pantai, ombak menjadi lebih jelas seperti yang ditunjukkan dalam rajah 4.1. Kaji bentuk dan panjang gelombang yang ditunjukkan dalam rajah 4.1.
