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 is there bigger waves in some regions than others?
Cause of pulluters and of the bigger wind current
Which explanation best describes the development of a wave?
Winds cause waves to form. The stronger the wind, the larger the waves. Wind transfers its energy to the surface of the water and depending on the strength of the wind, either small or large waves will form.
Which is the most common source of energy for surface ocean waves?
Usually waves in the ocean are caused by wind since out in the ocean there is nothing to block, or slow down the wind because there's obviously no buildings or people usually around so the wind can be stronger and faster creating waves in the water.
What Some of the sun is converted into wind and water waves?
what of the sun is converted into wind and water waves
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 gives waves their energy?
Waves get their energy from the wind. The stronger the wind, the more energy the waves will have. If there is less wind, the waves will have less energy.

How are hurricanes related to waves?
The winds from a hurricane blowing across the water's surface creates waves. The stronger the wind, the bigger the waves. Put some water in a bowl and blow across the surface. You made waves.
What effect does wind have on the water cycle?
it effects the water to evaporate to the clouds and rain gain
How are lake waves created?
Waves on an inland lake is caused by the wind. The stronger the wind blows across open water, the rougher and higher the waves.
Why is there bigger waves in some regions than others?
Cause of pulluters and of the bigger wind current
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
Which explanation best describes the development of a wave?
Winds cause waves to form. The stronger the wind, the larger the waves. Wind transfers its energy to the surface of the water and depending on the strength of the wind, either small or large waves will form.
What are the waves on the surface of the ocean most caused by?
The wind transfering some energy to the water and forming waves. Hence when its windier, you get bigger waves
What are all the ocean and sea waves?
waves are moving tides that a caused by wind, which the tides go bigger while moving
Why is the east coast smoother than the west coast?
It is smoother because the wind and waves are stronger on the west side.
