Where do ocean waves start?

Ocean waves are formed by the wind transferring its energy to the surface of the water. When the wind blows across the surface of the ocean, it creates ripples that then develop into waves. The size and power of the waves depend on factors such as wind speed, duration, and fetch (the distance over which the wind blows).

Suppose both a primary and secondary wave start together and travel for 5 minutes. which wave will travel farther?

Primary waves (P-waves) are faster than secondary waves (S-waves). Therefore, if both waves start together and travel for 5 minutes, the primary wave will travel farther than the secondary wave. This difference in speed is due to the fact that P-waves are compressional waves that can move through solids, liquids, and gases, while S-waves are shear waves that only propagate through solids.
