The paper considers the contemporary review of internal waves on a shelf based on thirty year's experience of studying internal waves in Russian Seas. The frequency spectra of internal waves are presented and analyzed in shallow-water seas, with those waves being generated by different sources. A strong variability in the spectra differs from the Gurret-Munk one. The main processes which are enumerated lead to the generation of intense internal waves on a shelf. The characteristic features of
