The ultimate source for the earth is sunlight. Due to the sunlight the water in the ocean surface get heat the water in the surface layers which makes the lighter and moves as hot waves towards the cold regions and cold water from the bottom or sides move up. Convection movements takes place and thus ocean waves are formed. Thus solar energy changes to mechanical energy in precise kinetic energy.
Hope this will clarify the doubt

Why are ocean waves a promising source of energy?
Ocean waves are in unlimited quantity. Just like wind and rivers, anything that transfers (kinetic, in this case) energy and has an infinite supply can be exploited for green energy and profit.
Where do waves get their energy from?
ocean waves get their energy from wind, the faster the wind and the longer the fetch the bigger the waves, low pressure systems, cold fronts and other weather systems generate most waves the sun is the main source of energy though it makes the wind stronger or weakerthey are energy
What type of energy does ocean waves have?
Mechanical energy
How are sound waves unique?
Sound waves move away from the source of energy, but other sorts of waves move perpendicular (at a right angle) to the energy source
What is ocean energy?
It's the energy that we get using the movement of the waves
What is the energy source in ocean waves?
wind
How do ocean waves form?
Ocean waves are form cause of the wind, or earthquakes. It forms when energy is transferred from a source to the ocean water.
What is the new energy source found in the ocean that is currently very costly to obtain?
Not sure what this refers to; one energy source related to the ocean is getting energy from waves, another is tidal energy.
Are waves a source of energy?
waves is not a source of energy

Which waves are in the ocean?
Ocean waves created by energy in the water are the waves that can be found in the ocean.
Where do waves get their energy from?
ocean waves get their energy from wind, the faster the wind and the longer the fetch the bigger the waves, low pressure systems, cold fronts and other weather systems generate most waves the sun is the main source of energy though it makes the wind stronger or weakerthey are energy
How is a ocean waves' energy transferred?
energy
Energy from the ocean waves is another from of what?
energy
Does an ocean waves possess potential energy or kinetic energy?
An ocean possess is kinect energy because, ocean waves have a lot of kinect energy.
What energy from the ocean waves is another form of what?
energy
