The interactions of waves with other waves affect the height of a wave. When wave trains meet other similar ones, if they coincide or phase then amplitude increases (counter interference). But, when the top of one train coincides with the bottom of the other train, the wave trains cancel each other out because of destructive interference.

∙ 9y agoWinds influence the height of the waves by the following ways:
1. Wind speed or strength relative to wave speed- the wind must be moving faster than the wave crest for energy transfer.
2. The uninterrupted distance of open water over which the wind blows without significant change in direction.
3. Width of area affected by fetch.
4. Wind duration.
5. Water depth.

What three factors affect waves?
heat,wind and lunar position
What are factors that can affect how mechanical waves travel?
Density of medium affects the deceleration of the wave
What is factors can affect the height of a wind formed wave?
the speed of the wind,the length of time that the wind blows, and the fetch
What factors affect the speed of wave?
Some factors that affect the speed of sound waves are density of medium, temperature, direction of wind, and humidity. Remember that a sound wave is just a pressure disturbance that travels through a medium by particle interactions. The nature of the medium will affect the sound waves velocity.
How does height affect distance?
Height does not affect distance.
How can environmental factors affect a persons height?
List one environmental factor that can affect a person's height
What three factors affect waves?
heat,wind and lunar position
What factors determine height?
Some factors that determine is diet & exercise. The more calcium you eat, the better chance you have of being tall.
What factors affect a wave's ability to erode and carry sediment?
looseness of sediment, speed of wave, angle of wae on sediment, angle of beach floor (as that changes the waves suction angle height and strength)
What are factors that can affect how mechanical waves travel?
Density of medium affects the deceleration of the wave
What factors affect the amount of gravitational potential energy?
Mass, gravity, height.
What are the affecting the the height of the waves?
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.
What are some factors that affect cart velocity on a roller coaster?
Height, angle, and track type. Height, angle, and track type.
What factors greatly affect places on the equator?
Height above sea levelCloseness to bodies of waterPrevailing winds
What might affect phyiscal activities?
it is due to a number of factors such as age, height, weight or general fitness
What are two main factors that affect where groundwater becomes surface water?
The height of the water table and the height of the ground surface. Got it from past TAKS tests.
What is factors can affect the height of a wind formed wave?
the speed of the wind,the length of time that the wind blows, and the fetch
