What factors determine the size of an ocean wave made by wind?
Waves are mechanical energy that has been transferred mostly from wind. The factors that determine the size of an ocean wave made by the wind are: time of contact, velocity of wind and the fetch-distance over which wind is in contact with water.
What does the size of an ocean wave depend on?
How long and strongly the wind blows. I know that for a fact. Trust me.
What is the size of a wind driven wave?
The size of a wind-driven wave could be anywhere from 1ft. to about 10-15 ft.
What affects the size of ocean waves?
Mainly the strenght of the wind passing over the water. Also the fetch, or distance that a wave has to develope. Finally, the beach profile will also effect the size and how the wave breaks.
What are three things that can affect the size of a wave?
the wind speed,wind duration and the distance the wave is traveling
What makes an ocean wave wave?
air and water, answer is true trust me for once!!
Which is not about a wave in the open ocean?
The waves in the open ocean are usually caused by the friction of the winds over the open ocean of water. The waves in the ocean vary in strength and size depending with the speed of wind and the friction with the surface of water.

What factors influence the size of a wave?
wavelength and wind
What factors influence the size of the wave?
wavelength and wind
Why do waves take you into the ocean?
because when a wave breaks onto the shore it gets sucked back into the ocean where the wind will turn it into a new wave, or swell.
What does waves have to do with math?
You can figure out how high the wave will be due to the wind and depth of the ocean.
