Explain how the phenomenon of constructive interference can lead to the formation of a rogue wave.

• Constructive interference occurs when two or more wave crests meet, combining their energies to form a larger wave.

• Constructive interference happens when a wave crest meets a wave trough, canceling each other out.

• Constructive interference is the result of underwater volcanic activity.

• Constructive interference is caused by the gravitational pull of the moon.
