it's basically just the pull of the moon and sun having a 'tug of war' with the waves. so if your looking for a force it will be gravitational force.
by definition a wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another. a force transfers energy and creates a disturbance therefor creating a wave
Creating disturbances
ENERGY!
wind and hot air is the main cause of waves
Two sources of energy for water waves are kinetic energy and potential energy. Any kind of disruption may cause a water wave.
wind and waves
no
There are P waves, S waves, and Surface waves [coming in that order]. The P waves are that half second jolt, the S waves are the 2-10 second rumbles, and the Surface waves go crazy and cause the most damage.
Wind
Gravity, Seismic Activity, and Wind
That varies, depending on the type of waves - e.g., water waves, sound waves, electromagnetic waves, etc.
Area of ocean in which wind blows (fetch), wind velocity, and wind duration control the size of ocean waves.
Waves don't cause storms at all. Storms at sea cause waves.
Siesmic waves are the propogation through the ground of any energy, such as sound waves or impact forces.
Waves from the ocean which come up with force or depth can cause damage to property. Compressional waves or tsunami waves are an example of these seismic waves.
A way waves cause erosion: waves wear away the land and erode the surface.
wind and hot air is the main cause of waves
The type of seismic waves that cause back and forth motions are P waves. P waves cause particles in material to vibrate back and forth.
Essentially yes, the high wind speeds and rotational forces produced by the hurricane cause the ocean under it to be drive away from the epicenter as the winds push them outwards.
Quantifying the number of types of waves in fact reduces to the problem of quantifying the number of forces. In fact, mechanical waves are a subset of electromagnetic waves, so there are in fact three other types of waves on top of electromagnetic, for the three other fundamental forces: strong nuclear, weak nuclear, gravitational. Mechanical movement can be caused by any of the four fundamental forces. *Short answer: no. By the way, mechanical waves require a medium, where EM waves do not. They are the only, two, separate types of waves.
