Where Light meets the Sea
The Science
This photo shows two science concepts in nature. The bright sparkle on the water is caused by sunlight reflecting off the sea. The waves are formed when the wind transfers energy to the water. As the waves move toward the shore, they slow down in shallow water and break into white foam. This photo shows how light, wind, water and gravity work together in everyday life.
