Are waves made by wind or the moon?

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.

Would there still be waves if there wasn't a moon?

Yes. The creation of waves is unrelated to the Moon. What the Moon creates is tides.


Are waves created by the moon?

No but the tides are. Tides are created from the moon's gravitational pull of the seas. Waves are created by wind.


How are water waves made?

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.


What are two things cause ocean waves?

moon and wind


What causes to the ocean to have waves?

Wind, mostly. And the moon's gravity, but mostly wind.


Why does the moon makes the waves?

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.


How does the Moon create waves on Earth?

No, the moon does not create waves, it creates tides because of its gravitational pull.


What forces cause most ocean waves?

Area of ocean in which wind blows (fetch), wind velocity, and wind duration control the size of ocean waves.


How are wave made?

Waves are made by the moon, it is all about gravity


What two things that cause ocean waves?

The moon and wind (created by the sun heating the air)


How do wave form?

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.


What is the source of energy for these waves?

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.
