How wave generated in sea?
The waves usually get their energy from the wind. The wind pushes against any small irregularity in the water, creating small ripples, pushes against the small ripples producing larger waves, etc.The waves usually get their energy from the wind.

What does ripples mean?
To make small waves
Where do ocean waves start?
start off as ripples then gradually form into ocean waves.
How the wind can makes waves?
The wind blows over the sea and causes small ripples. The water is forced into elliptical cycles which travel towards the shore.
What is an non example for a longitudinal wave?
sugar or salt
How does moving water form waves in water?
As it slides over the water surface film, air makes it move. As the water moves, it forms eddies and small ripples. Then waves are formed from these ripples

How do you spell rippels?
The correct spelling is ripples (small waves, especially circular ones).
Where do we find waves or ripples?
As the category is not stipulated: I would suggest waves and ripples can be found at the sea side.
What is the size range of surface waves?
Wind waves range in size from small ripples, to waves over 100 ft (30 m) high.[1]
What is the major cause of surface waves in the ocean is?
Says The World Book Encyclopedia: The wind causes most ocean waves, from small ripples to great hurricane waves more than 100 feet (30 meters) high....After the wind stops, the waves continue to move over the ocean surface and can travel great distances from where they originated. They become smoother and longer. Finally the waves reach the shoreline, where they break and form the surf. Additionally, strictly speaking, tidal waves are simply the surging and waning swells that we call tides and are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon. (from Awake magazine on Jehovah's Witnesses official website)
Why an earthquake from very far can cause a tsunami in a country another continent?
Earthquakes that occur at a subduction zone can cause a vertical shift in the ocean floor that displaces a large volume of water above it. This causes waves to spread outward. The waves move across the ocean like ripples across a pond to strike distant shores.
