How do sound waves differ from water waves?
they differ because waves are sound waves and water waves are waves in the water.
Is water waves a electromagnetic wave?
No, water waves are mechanical waves.
How are water waves different from electromagnetic waves?
electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum while water waves travel in water.
Are light waves and water waves examples of transverse waves?
Yes (but not sound in water)
Why does the shape and height of the wave depends on the speed of the wind?
This is because the waves formed in the sea are caused by the blowing wind. As the wind blows over the water,stream of wind pushes the overlying water towards the direction it is moving.Therefore,the speed of water determines the size and shape of the wind.
How do water and wind shape the landforms?
Waves
What forces shape earth surface?
They are Wind, Waves, Glaciers and Water/Ice
What are the causes that affect the shape of the land overtime?
Wind, water, waves, ice, weathering and erosion affect the shape of land over time.
When a person throws a stone into water why are circular waves formed rather than transverse waves?
Simple answer:When a stone is thrown into quiet water, the circular waves that are formed are transverse waves. We say the waves are circular because the shape of the wave front is circular and we say it is transverse because the surface disturbance is vertical, perpendicular plane of the surface in which the wave moves.The waves have both properties of being circular and transverse.More Explanation:Transverse waves are waves where the direction of the oscillatory motion is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.The waves on the surface of water are a vertical motion of the water.The waves on the surface move on the surface, which is horizontal, so the propagation is in the horizontal direction.Horizontal is perpendicular to vertical, so circular water waves as well as linear water waves are transverse. Indeed, no matter what peculiar shape you produce, the water disturbance is vertical and the motion of propagation is restricted to the horizontal surface.
How do sound waves differ from water waves?
they differ because waves are sound waves and water waves are waves in the water.
How do waves shape a coast?
waves use their special powers to shape the coast and they also help in making animals and people and countries with magic
What does the nautical term wake mean?
The disturbance - usually in the form of a trailing V shape of waves - left by a water-craft travelling through water.
Is water waves a electromagnetic wave?
No, water waves are mechanical waves.
Are longitudinal waves water waves?
Yes, water waves are a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motions.
How waves shape the coastline?
by erosion
How are water waves different from electromagnetic waves?
electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum while water waves travel in water.
Are light waves and water waves examples of transverse waves?
Yes (but not sound in water)
