I believe both play a factor in waves... I do know that if we didn't have the moon there would be no waves, tides, etc. therefore no life would have evolved. Wind just makes the waves, well... more wavier.
Yes. The creation of waves is unrelated to the Moon. What the Moon creates is tides.
No but the tides are. Tides are created from the moon's gravitational pull of the seas. Waves are created by wind.
Water waves are created by the transfer of energy from the wind to the surface of the water. As the wind blows over the water, it causes ripples and waves to form. The size and strength of the waves are influenced by the speed and direction of the wind, as well as the distance it has traveled over the water.
moon and wind
Wind, mostly. And the moon's gravity, but mostly wind.
the moon makes the waves move with gravitation. the moon pulls all the waves to come it's way using gravitation. and the other reason why the waves move is because the wind blows the waves. Natalie w.
No, the moon does not create waves, it creates tides because of its gravitational pull.
Area of ocean in which wind blows (fetch), wind velocity, and wind duration control the size of ocean waves.
Waves are made by the moon, it is all about gravity
The moon and wind (created by the sun heating the air)
There are primarily as a result of the wind. It is the initial phase in the development of surfable waves. Wind communication on the surface of the sea, long way from the coast can make a portion of the best waves on earth.
The source of energy for ocean waves is primarily wind. Wind blowing across the surface of the ocean transfers its energy to the water, creating waves. The size and strength of the waves depend on factors such as wind speed, duration, and the distance over which the wind blows.
