Re: High Amplitude VS Low Amplitude waves

In general, high amplitude waves take up a larger expanse latitudinally, but also tend to have sharper curvature associated with them. This can lead to them have a better focal point for something to form along them, but this isn't always the case. Low amplitude waves aren't as large north-south and generally don't have as much curvature...generally not as likely to form, but not also a given.
