Action [...] des vagues qui se brisent en écume en roulant sur elles-mêmes. 3, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9ferlement
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Les vagues venant du large se transforment en approchant du littoral car la profondeur de l'eau diminue [...] À mesure que s'amincit la lame d'eau, le mouvement de la vague est déformé, l'orbite des particules d'eau s'aplatit progressivement vers le bas si bien que, sur fond, elle est réduite à un mouvement de va-et-vient. La longueur d'onde décroît mais la période reste la même; la vitesse diminue, le flanc de la vague devient plus raide et déferle. 4, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9ferlement
