What Some of the sun is converted into wind and water waves?
what of the sun is converted into wind and water waves
Why is there bigger waves in some regions than others?
Cause of pulluters and of the bigger wind current
Why can the movement of water create more energy than the movement of wind?
Greater mass of waves. Force = Mass * Acceleration so where Acceleration is the same, Mass(wave) > Mass (wind), the force of waves is much greater, thusly waves have more "potential". You can also use E=MC^2 Energy = Mass * speed of light squared. Mass(wave) > Mass (wind), more energy in waves. <<>> I would guess that the total energy in the wind over the world is more than the energy in waves in all the oceans. That is because waves occur in a thin layer at the top of the water, while the wind blows everywhere at all heights.
How does wind cause waves?
Wind causes waves as it disrupts the water's surface. Its constant and repetitive motion is transferred into the water which generates waves.
Can sound be carried by wind?
Sound waves travel faster in warmer air. If the temperature of the air near the ground is colder than air higher up, then sound waves traveling slightly upward will bend downward. This tends to "focus" the sound waves back toward the ground and can help amplify the sounds when you are far away.
How are lake waves created?
Waves on an inland lake is caused by the wind. The stronger the wind blows across open water, the rougher and higher the waves.
Can ocean waves move faster than wind?
no
What gives waves their energy?
Waves get their energy from the wind. The stronger the wind, the more energy the waves will have. If there is less wind, the waves will have less energy.
If a wind is blowing from west to east across Lake Michigan would the waves be higher on the east or the west side?
Strong winds and winds that have an upward motion (such as tornadoes and hurricanes), tend to push the water at the surface. This water will cause a tide called a storm surge. If the wind is blowing west, the water would be higher on the west side of the lake. As to the size of the waves, there are more factors involved in waves than just wind... more wind more waves for the most part. However, after the storm surge subsided, the tidal shifts would also produce large waves on the east side of the lake as the receding water rushed back.
Do the energy in waves come from wind?
yes when the waves roll in the ocean... what do you think makes the waves... wind!
