3. have dealt with similar problems.
4. are more creative and clever.. Ans: 1. have a large knowledge and
experience base to draw upon.
2. can better recognize factors involved and define the problem.
3. have dealt with similar problems.
Experts draw upon their more extensive knowledge base to better
recognize relationships between the factors involved, thus more quickly
define the problem. Experts may have already dealt with a problem

2. Cause upwelling that affects water temperature and visibility
3. Generate waves and surge
Wind can cause waves, surf, surge and surface currents plus poor
