when the surface of the sea is distributed, waves are produced. waves are seen moving on the surface of water but actually their movement is not extensive and the movement of water from one part of the ocean to another gives rise to currents.
Rock under stress breaks at the focus, releasing energy and vibrations called seismic waves, which travel away from the focus, through Earth's interior, and across the surface. The three types of seismic waves are: Primary waves: The first to arrive at seismographs Secondary waves: The second to arrive at seismographs Surface waves: The last and most severe to arrive at seismographs
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
No. surface waves on the surface of water is transverse in nature. It has crests and troughs. Compression and rarefaction will be in longitudinal wave. example sound waves.
p wave comes first s wave comes next and last comes surface wave.
L-wave
Wind causing waves are formed at the surface of the oceans.
Surface waves
surface waves
Ocean waves are mechanical waves. The waves on the surface are surface waves (particles move in a circular motion) while the waves in the depths are longitudinal (particles move parallel to the wave propogation).
Waves in the ocean are mainly caused by the wind transferring energy to the water's surface. When the wind blows over the water, it creates friction, causing the water to move in ripples that develop into waves. Other factors like tides, earthquakes, and underwater landslides can also contribute to wave formation in the ocean.
Ocean wave energy is typically strongest in regions where strong winds generate large ocean waves, such as in open ocean areas or along coastlines with consistent high winds. Some specific examples include the North Atlantic Ocean, the Southern Ocean near Antarctica, and areas surrounding the coasts of New Zealand and Scotland.
surface waves
Waves are disturbances that carry energy through a medium or space. They can be categorized as mechanical (require a medium to travel through) or electromagnetic (can travel through a vacuum). Waves exhibit properties such as frequency, wavelength, and amplitude, and can be classified as transverse or longitudinal based on the direction of vibrations.
