The Power of Waves
- "...waves sometimes strike the shore with the force of 6,000 pounds for each square foot. That means a wave 25 feet high and 500 feet along its face may strike the shore with a force of 75 million pounds." - excerpt from the book, The Sea, published by the California State Dept. of Education, 1967, pg. 90.
