A surface current is produced by the sun and the earth's rotation. The sun produces wind causing surface currents. Waves are an effect of a surface current. Hope that this helped!

What are the differences between frequency and wave length?
The wavelength is the size of the wave in meters. The frequency is the number of waves that occur in a scond.
What is a suface wave?
In physics, a surface wave is a mechanical wave that propagates along the interface between differing media, usually two fluids with different densities. A surface wave can also be an electromagnetic wave guided by a refractive index gradient. ...
What is a small wave called?
surface wave
What causes a surface wave?
A surface wave is caused by an earthquake. When the earthquake causes primary, and secondary waves to interact, a surface wave is formed.
what is the difference between longitudinal and surface waves?
Longitudinal wave particles move parallel to the way the wave is moving. Surface wave particles move in a circular motion.
What the differences between tsunamis and rouge waves?
a rouge wave is a wave in the ocean, and a tsunamis is a a wave made near a coast.
What is a wave that occurs at the boundary between two media when transverse and longitudinal waves combine?
megnetic wave and or a surface wave
A disturbance at the boundary between two media?
surface wave
Why wave depend on the sun?
From wind (convection current)by sun heat by steering from the surface of the water

What is a boundary between two materials?
Surface Wave (APEX)
What are the similarities and differences between the aquatic trophic pyramid and the terrestrial trophic pyramid?
is a wave
What is a small wave called?
surface wave
Distinguish between a primary wave and a secondary wave?
A primary wave is a strong vibration or wave that hits earths surface (P) and a secondary wave (S) is a wave that hits soon after but not nearly as big.
What is the main difference between body wave and surface waves?
Surface waves travel slower than body waves.
What are the differences between ac and dc supply?
AC - Alternating current , means the sign wave alternates +180 degrees to -180 degrees. this is the most common of power supplys , such as the power to your house etc. DC - direct current , is a steady source of power on a straight wave form , although the wave can be altered , DC is mostly found in batteries or Rectifiers . basically - power outlets kill - batteries dont :D
