Answer:

Plunging breaker

Step-by-step explanation:

A Plunging Breaker wave occurs with the breaking of waves on a coastal surface, the more inclined that surface is, the more intense the wave will be. It is characterized as a wave that reached a critical amplitude, moving large masses of energy and water resulting in a set of uncontrolled and turbulent kinetic energy.

This type of wave is widely studied in fluid mechanics.
