Some of the sun's is converted into wind and water waves-?
Some of the sun's energy is converted into wind and water waves. Most of the sun's energy are absorbed by the primary producers.
How does wind cause waves?
Wind causes waves as it disrupts the water's surface. Its constant and repetitive motion is transferred into the water which generates waves.
Do the energy in waves moves across the water?
When the wind blows across the water, it changes the water's surface, first into ripples and then into waves.
What are the differences between water waves and sound waves?
sound waves are created by things that make sounds like sombody speaking or instruments. water waves are created by wind.
What does Friction between wind and water produce?
Waves, of course.

What are some of the agent of erosion?
Water, wind, ice, and waves.
How does wind cause waves?
Wind causes waves as it disrupts the water's surface. Its constant and repetitive motion is transferred into the water which generates waves.
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
Wind and water can cause?
Waves.
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.
How are waves set in motion?
By the wind pushing the water creating waves
Where do Surface waves get their energy from?
The Sun and the Moon gravitational pull on the earth causes high and low tides which give the ocean waves their energy. Ocean waves get their energy from wind blowing across the surface of the water. When the wind contacts the water, some of its energy is transferred.
Why don't waves move the water very far?
Wind creates waves. Waves don't move water very far because the wind doesn't push it very hard, wind isn't forceful enough.
How do water and wind shape the landforms?
Waves
What causes oceans waves?
Normal (i.e. not tsunami) waves on the ocean are caused by the wind blowing over the ocean surface. The wind transfers some of its energy to the water surface, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules. Stronger winds caused by storms result in larger waves and the larger the stretch of ocean over which the wind is blowing, the larger the waves.The winds cause waves on the surface of the ocean (and on lakes). The wind transfers some of its energy to the water, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules. Stronger winds (like storm surges) cause larger waves. You can make your own miniature waves by blowing across the surface of a pan of water.
What is a cause of eroison?
water,wind,runing water,and waves
