hacen contacto con el fondo marino de una costa

Explanation:
yo fui de los que corría olas y cuando una ola hace contacto con el fondo marino el fonfo marino detienen el agua del fono y hace que la ola crezca en tamaño. El tamaño de la ola va en proporción directa a la distancia que hay de la superficie al fondo marino.

Reference: Trim seabed

Reference information:
<<When this wave, at a high speed, moved laterally and the water-depth became shallower, it started to trim the sediment surface of the seabed (Fig. 6). This bottom erosion generated local slides, extensive turbiditic bed-loads and huge “clouds” of suspended matter (clay and silt)>>
