Ocean surface waves are surface waves that occur at the surface of an ocean.
They usually result from distant winds or geologic effects and may travel thousands of miles before striking land.
They range in size from small ripples to huge tsunamis.
There is surprisingly little actual forward motion of individual water particles in a wave, despite the large amount of forward energy it may carry.
What else can I help you with?
What 2 waves are surface waves?
Love waves and Rayleigh waves are surface waves
What general name is given to waves that travel along the surface of a material such as Rayleigh and Love waves?
Surface waves
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
Do p waves or surface waves move faster?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
What are an example of surface wave?
Examples of surface waves include water waves on the ocean's surface, seismic surface waves that travel along the earth's surface during an earthquake, and electromagnetic waves that propagate along the boundaries between different materials.
Why do waves happwen?
waves happen because it drives the ocean and its happen not happwen
What drives the motion of the waves on the ocean?
Wind
What are the three seismic waves in order?
The three types of seismic waves are: P waves S waves Surface waves ( two surface waves. Riley surface wave and love surface wave named after scientists
What kind of waves can travel through earth and along earths surface?
Seismic waves are the types of waves that can travel through the Earth and along its surface. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves (such as primary and secondary waves) that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves (such as Love and Rayleigh waves) that travel along the Earth's surface.
Where do surface waves occur?
Surface waves occur at the boundary between two different mediums, such as air and water, or air and land. They travel along the interface, transferring energy in the form of ripples or undulations on the surface. Examples of surface waves include ocean waves, seismic waves, and electromagnetic waves.
Where do waves occurs?
surface waves occur on the surface its visible to people and people can surface
What does surface waves travel through?
surface waves can only travel along the surface.
