How does an ocean wave change as its movint from deep water to shallow water

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

Hahaha good one. you ? & oop
