Our transcription: When we look at a sunset we see waves of light energy that have traveled an immense distance to reach our eyes.
When we look at an ocean, we see waves of water energy that may have journeyed thousands of kilometers to reach our shores.
Most waves derive their energy from the wind.
As the wind blows over the ocean, some of its energy is transferred to the surface forming waves that move through the water.
And it is in large part the power of these waves that makes the coastal environment such a dynamic place.
