How are transverse waves and compression waves similar?
they both make motion wave
Is ocean waves harmonic motion?
In the middle of the ocean it is simple harmonic. But at the shores the energy would be diverted into lateral movement
How are ocean sound and light waves similar?
Carries energy
What type of wave is sea waves?
A wave in sea or ocean is a transverse wave produced by oscillation of water perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave.
A wave in which the motion of the material is perpendicular to the motion of the wave is?
Transverse waves . Eg , sea waves .
The motion of these waves is similar to that of ocean waves?
L
What characteristic of the ocean shows that they are in constant motion?
Waves and whirlpools show the ocean is in constant motion.
What drives the motion of the waves on the ocean?
Wind
What force sets ocean waves in motion?
air
What is the approximate rhyme for ocean?
motion (the motion of the waves) commotion (in the narwhal song, it reads "narwhals, narwhals, swimming in the ocean, causing a commotion) emotion (soothing waves, angry waves, etc)
What makes waves in the ocean?
A periodic disturbance of the particles of a of a body of water, such as in the passage of undulating motion, makes waves in the ocean.
How are transverse waves and compression waves similar?

Most ocean waves obtain their energy and motion from .?
the wind
Is an ocean in motion with ocean waves and tides?
Yes, as the waves are circling underwater they tend to bring the tide up and make it visible.
What characteristic of oceans shows that they are in constant motion?
Waves and whirlpools show the ocean is in constant motion.
What are four kinds of motion in the ocean?
Waves, whirlpools, tides, and currents.
Ocean waves are what kind of wave type?
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).
