If the main features and contours of the ocean floor were fully mapped, scientists would
be better able to study and understand wave refraction. What is the MOST likely reason
that this is the case?
A:Refracted waves can turn into whirlpools far above ocean basins.
B:Waves curve more tightly around sunken objects like shipwrecks.
C:Waves slow and change direction due to friction with the seabed.
D:Refraction occurs most frequently over ocean trenches or valleys.
