What is the source of energy in ocean waves?
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
What is the ultimate source for biomass energy?
Wind
What Some of the sun is converted into wind and water waves?
what of the sun is converted into wind and water waves
What is the source of energy for these waves?
1 The moon's gravitational pull on the water 2 The wind hitting the water 3 An underwater earthquake (Tsunami)
How does wind cause waves?
Wind causes waves as it disrupts the water's surface. Its constant and repetitive motion is transferred into the water which generates waves.

What will be the ultimate source of energy for offshore wind farms?
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 ultimate source for biomass energy?
Wind
How are currents different from waves?
Currents are a small source of water moving and waves are a bigger source of water moving. The waves are control (more or less made) by the wind where as the waves control and create the currents which is pretty strange. Currents are the one associated with the movement of water where as Waves carry only Energy i.e. NO mass transport

Where do Surface waves get their energy from?
The Sun and the Moon gravitational pull on the earth causes high and low tides which give the ocean waves their energy. Ocean waves get their energy from wind blowing across the surface of the water. When the wind contacts the water, some of its energy is transferred.
