What else can I help you with?
What force causes waves?
That varies, depending on the type of waves - e.g., water waves, sound waves, electromagnetic waves, etc.
How does the energy from the sun produce waves?
It warms the atmosphere which causes convection and wind. The wind blowing across the surface of water causes waves.
What causes ocean waves currents?
Winds and subsea movement of water.
What kind of waves are water waves?
Water waves are formed by the force of the wind agianst the water and air goes forward and finally develops a circular motion. This motion causes a pressure to go down on the surface at its front, and pressure going up and this causes the surface to take on the form of a wave.
What happens to the path of waves when they travel from air to water?
When waves travel from air to water, they change direction and speed due to the difference in density between the two mediums. This causes the waves to bend or refract as they enter the water.
How does wind cause waves?
Wind causes waves by transferring its energy to the surface of the water, creating ripples that grow into larger waves. The stronger and longer the wind blows, the larger and more powerful the waves become. Wind speed, duration, and the distance over which it blows all play a role in shaping the size and shape of waves.
How are water waves made?
Water waves are created by the transfer of energy from the wind to the surface of the water. As the wind blows over the water, it causes ripples and waves to form. The size and strength of the waves are influenced by the speed and direction of the wind, as well as the distance it has traveled over the water.
How many earthquakes happen in water?
The plates under the ocean moves which causes the water to have shock waves.
What causes waves in the rock layers?
depending on the rock. sedimentary rocks are formed under water and may have water wave ripples. metamorphic rock has been pressed into waves. igneous rocks flowed in waves
Where do the waves come from?
Waves are created by the transfer of energy from winds blowing across the surface of the water. The friction between the wind and the surface of the water causes ripples to form, which can develop into waves as they travel across the ocean.
What restoring forces causes waves?
The restoring force in ocean waves is gravity, which pulls the water back towards its undisturbed position after a wave crest has passed. In the case of water ripples, surface tension acts as the restoring force, pulling the water molecules back into place.
Is water displaced by waves or does the water stay in the same place?
Water is displaced by waves. As a wave passes through, water moves in a circular motion but returns to its original position once the wave has passed. This circular motion is what causes the sensation of waves moving across the water's surface.
