The highest lake waves cannot be as big as the highest ocean waves because lakes have?
less fetch
What factors influence the forward velocity of a wave?
The speed of the wind, gravitational pull of the moon interactions with other waves time duration the wind has blown over a given area width of area affected by fetch water depth. These are some of the reasons that affect the height of ocean waves.
Where do waves get their energy from?
ocean waves get their energy from wind, the faster the wind and the longer the fetch the bigger the waves, low pressure systems, cold fronts and other weather systems generate most waves the sun is the main source of energy though it makes the wind stronger or weakerthey are energy
Why do EM waves not require a medium?
Both electrostatic fields and magnetic fields can influence objects in a vacuum, so EM waves (the combination of varying electromagnetic and electrostatic fields) have influence through a vacuum, that is, in the absence of a physical medium.
Why aren't all water waves the same size?
Heh actually I think, that it is caused by different pressure of influence in different places... for example: if wind induces an oscillation of water, force of its blow won't be equal in every point... It's impossible... So the amplitude of the wave is different... but for example standing wave in the tube has one and the same height and i think the reason must be clear :)
What does fetch mean in geography?
Fetch is an important factor in the formation, size and power of waves. Despite its importance fetch is a very simple thing. In the most straightforward way, fetch is just the maximum length of open water over which the wind can blow.
What is the influence of fetch?

Why does Cornwall have big waves?
the waves are big because Cornwall has the stongest wind, due to its fetch , and this causes the waves to be bigger
What determines how strong an earthquake will be?
1. Wind strength and duration 2. Fetch of the wave
The highest lake waves cannot be as big as the highest ocean waves because lakes have?
less fetch
What does fetch mean in the book ocean?
fetch is a length of water over which a given wind has blown fetch is just the maximum length of open water over which the wind can blow "makes waves" basically
Which of the three places in the UK will get the biggest waves explain why this happens?
cornwall because the waves have a fetch of around 6000 km, across the atlantic
Why do big waves happen?
I Belen e they get taller because as the front of the wave hits the shore, it loses energy and slows down, while the back of the wave still has more speed and momentum. The back of the wave catches up with the front, compressing a wide wave into a tall wave. As the wave gets taller while decelerating, naturally the top of the wave falls foreword.
Define the earth science version of fetch?
the distance traveled by wind or waves across open water.
What are three factors that create ocean waves?
wind speed, length of time the wind has blown, and fetch
How do waves get their energy?
by the particles in the sea when they bump togheter they give power to the waves by the particles in the sea when they bump togheter they give power to the waves
How do waves travel and how do they influence our experience of earthquakes?
Help me please
