This show is sponsored by Quints. You know, as a trusty narrator, I'd much rather be in my backyard having lunch than pretty much anywhere else. But sometimes duty calls. And whether I'm being Minnie tries to go inside the human body, traveling 2,000 years to ancient Greece, or just having Chet over for barbecue, I need clothes that work for it all. And so do you. That's where Quince comes in. I've ordered their sweaters and pants and they're perfect for my, let's call it flexible adventure lifestyle. The sweaters are soft cashmere that feel like they cost 10 times more than they do. And the pants? They're tough enough for outdoor adventures, but comfortable enough for my preferred backyard lounging. The best part is I'm not paying designer prices for quality basics. Quint cuts out the middleman so you get that premium feel without the premium markup.

That's Q-U-I-N-C-E.com smarted hello smartypants and welcome to trusty Trivia Thursday. Today we're riding the rhythm hanging 10 and splashing into the totally tubular world of ocean waves. But before we make a splash, we want to give a double shout out to Aidan and Nicole in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Aidan says who's smarted makes learning fun and Nicole says it's the best thing in her mind because she learns new things and sometimes even gets the answers right. Thanks for listening and learning smarty fam. Alright, let's dive in. Question 1 what mostly causes waves in the ocean? Is it A the moon, B the wind, or C mermaids doing cannonballs? If you pick B, you're breezing through this trivia. Wind blowing across the surface of the ocean transfers energy to the water, creating the waves that we love to jump, surf or splash in. Question 2 what do we call the distance between two wave crests? Is it a wave wiggle? B Crest zone C. Wavelength? Did you say C? Sure thing. The wavelength is the distance between two wave crests. And longer wavelengths can mean bigger, more powerful waves. Final question what is a tsunami? Is it A a giant tidal wave? B a wave caused by underwater disturbances like earthquakes or C a salty water dragon? Did you go with B? You are making seismic strides. Going with B, you're making seismic strides. A tsunami is a powerful wave or series of waves caused by underwater earthquakes, landslides or volcanic eruptions and not just regular winds. You totally surfed these questions Smartypants. Catch you next Thursday for more swell trivia. And if you want to learn more, check out our Ocean Waves episode in the WhoSmarted archives. Keep on smarting and keep on having fun. Who Smarted?
