How did ocean waves form?
The winds cause waves on the surface of the ocean (and on lakes). The wind transfers some of its energy to the water, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules. Stronger winds (like storm surges) cause larger waves. You can make your own miniature waves by blowing across the surface of a pan of water.
What can result when winds blow across ocean water?
ocean waves
What is a primary cause for surface winds on earth?
A primary cause for surface winds on the earth is the Earths Rotation.
How are ocean waves made?
The winds cause waves on the surface of the ocean. The wind transfers some of its energy to the water, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules. Stronger winds cause larger waves.
How are hurricanes related to waves?
The winds from a hurricane blowing across the water's surface creates waves. The stronger the wind, the bigger the waves. Put some water in a bowl and blow across the surface. You made waves.
WHAT FORMS WHEN WINDS BLOW ACROSS THE WATERS SURFACE TRANSFERRING THEIR ENERGY TO THE WATER?
Waves are formed.
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.
Which of these causes global winds to appear to turn instead of blow straight across the earth's surface?
The Coriolis effect is when global winds appear to turn instead of blowing straight across the earth's surface.
How tidal waves damage environment?
cause the force of the winds are very strong and violent.
How do winds affect ocean waters?
Winds affect ocean water by blowing the water across making ocean currents and changing the temperature. Catastrophic Events? Me too.
What affects the speed of waves?
Surface winds and the sea bed movement of plates (these can cause tsunamis).
What causes oceans waves?
Normal (i.e. not tsunami) waves on the ocean are caused by the wind blowing over the ocean surface. The wind transfers some of its energy to the water surface, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules. Stronger winds caused by storms result in larger waves and the larger the stretch of ocean over which the wind is blowing, the larger the waves.The winds cause waves on the surface of the ocean (and on lakes).
