What is the size of a wind driven wave?
The size of a wind-driven wave could be anywhere from 1ft. to about 10-15 ft.
What are three things that can affect the size of a wave?
the wind speed,wind duration and the distance the wave is traveling
What factors influence the size of the wave?
wavelength and wind
What are the three factors that determine the size of a wave?
Wind speed Length of time the wind has blown over a given area Distance of open water that the wind has blown over; called fetch
How does the length of time the wind blows over water affect the amount of energy in a wave?
They result from the wind blowing over an area of fluid surface, of wind-generated waves that are not usually affected by the local wind at that time.

What is the cause of waves?
The cause of waves depends on the strength of the wind. The stronger the wind the bigger the wave.
What factors influence the size of a wave?
wavelength and wind

wavelength and wind
What determines how strong an earthquake will be?
1. Wind strength and duration 2. Fetch of the wave
What factors determine the size of an ocean wave made by wind?
Waves are mechanical energy that has been transferred mostly from wind. The factors that determine the size of an ocean wave made by the wind are: time of contact, velocity of wind and the fetch-distance over which wind is in contact with water.

Wind speed Length of time the wind has blown over a given area Distance of open water that the wind has blown over; called fetch
Which is not about a wave in the open ocean?
The waves in the open ocean are usually caused by the friction of the winds over the open ocean of water. The waves in the ocean vary in strength and size depending with the speed of wind and the friction with the surface of water.
How does the length of time the wind blows over water affect amount of energy in a wave?
They result from the wind blowing over an area of fluid surface, of wind-generated waves that are not usually affected by the local wind at that time.
