These types of long-period waves normally start interacting with the seabed at depths of around 200 meters. On most coasts, this depth would occur up to several kilometers offshore.

In this week's science roundup from Short Wave, we discuss "chirps" of radiation from space, contagious urination among chimps, and the meltiness of vegan cheese. Search Query Show Search.

In a paper published in the journal Earth and Space Science last year, Rajeevan and his co-author P. Rohini, evaluated the efficiency of various models in predicting heat waves in India.

As in other parts of the world, a heat wave in Europe can make it more likely for others to occur in the same area, because a period of extreme heat dries out the soil.
