Yes dude the energy of wave depends upon the amplitude
The more the trough ( upper part of wave) moves away from the peroendicular distance the more it spends energy
i.e. energy is inversely proportional to ampltitude

Does the energy of a mechanical wave depend on the amplitude of the wave?
Yes
What does the energy of a mechanical wave depend on?
In fact, energy of the wave is one interpretation of a wave's amplitude. Many versions of amplitude exist. If amplitude has a specific meaning and a specific unit...it needs to be specified. Some examples are displacement amplitude, energy amplitude, pressure amplitude, restoring force amplitude, intensity, decibel level, etcetera.
Is amplitude a measure of a waves energy?
Not exactly. The amplitude of a mechanical wave means how much the particles move from their resting position. The amplitude of an electrical wave specificies how much the voltage or current varies, etc. The amount of energy for a specific wave does depend on the amplitude - more amplitude means more energy. However, the energy also depends on other factors.
Why does the amplitude depend on the height of a wave?
This is just the definition of "amplitude". The amplitude of a wave is the height of the wave. "Amplitude" is a fancier name for "height" when we speak about waves.
How is the amplitude of a wave related to the wave?
Energy content of the wave is dependent on the amplitude of the wave

Energy content of the wave is dependent on the amplitude of the wave
What controls the amplitude of a wave?
wellllll energy of the wave controls the amplitude of a wave
Does wave speed depend on wave amplitude?
No. Wave speed depends on frequency and wavelength, not amplitude.
A wave with high amplitude?
Has more energy than a wave with low amplitude.
How is the energy of a wave relate to its amplitude?
wavelength is the distance from the peak of one wave to the peak of the next. In this diagram, the wavelength is measured from crest to crest, but the wavelength could be measured from trough to trough as well.A wave's amplitude is the maximum distance that a wave vibrates from its resting position. In a transverse wave, this means that the amplitude of the wave is the highest or lowest point. In a longitudinal wave, the amplitude is the maximum distance the wave travels back or forth. The more energy the wave has, the larger the amplitude will be.
What happens to the energy in a seismic wave as the wave grows larger?
As the amplitude of a wave increases, the energy increases. In general terms the energy transported by a wave is proportional to the amplitude squared.
What happens to the amplitude of the wave if the energy increases?
what happens to the amplitude of a wave when the energy increases
How does the amplitude affect the energy of a wave?
The intensity will increase if the energy increase. The intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude of a wave.
