ForgeFX is pleased to present this showcase of interactive 3D simulations created for Prentice Hall's middle grades science program called Science Explorer.
Most waves form when winds blowing across the water's surface transmit their energy to the water. This is a real-time 3D wave simulator which demonstrates the connection between wind speed and ocean particle motion depth. The student can modify the properties of an ocean wave and see the effect from any perspective.
