What is the fetch of a wave?
The lenght of time a wave has traveled or in more intelligent words The Fetch of a wave is the distance over open water over which the wind has blown (further it has travelled, the larger the wave.)
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.
Is it possible to displacement to be greater than distance?
Not possible. The displacement could be equal to the distance traveled ... if the route of travel was a straight line ... or less than the distance traveled ... if the route of travel was wavy and wiggly. But you can never wind up farther from your starting point than the distance you travel.
The energy of ocean waves comes from the energy of?
Mostly by wind blowing across the water's surface.
Why do lorries use more energy when they go faster?
Distance traveled per time unit, for example - per hour, goes up linearly with the speed. So double speed means double miles per hour. Some resistances, such as wind resistance for example, increase nonlinear with speed (velocity). Wind resistance increases as something like the third power (speed cubed). So double speed can mean eight times the wind resistance losses. Lubricants, such as oil show similar nonlinear losses. Distance traveled in a unit time increases only linearly with speed. Thus the gain, distance traveled, has gone up less than the efficiency losses.
The distance that the wind has traveled across open water?
Fetch
Define the earth science version of fetch?
the distance traveled by wind or waves across open water.
What is is the distance the wind has traveled across open water?
I think it's called the 'fetch'
The distance wind travels across open ocean water is called?
fetch, or Gare but I'm pretty sure it's fetch =)
How does wind start a wave?
As wind travels across the water's surface, it pushes against the water and energy in the wind is absorbed by the water.
What does mean unit mph for wind speed?
Mph stands for miles per hour; the distance traveled in an hour.

It is NOT tides. I did this on study island, and the CORRECT ANSWER: WAVES

How is it possible that sailboats can go faster than the wind?
By controlling its flow across the sails: If the boat is light enough, it WILL move faster across the water than the wind does.
