Waves are bigger in oceans than in small lakes because, the ocean is in a much much larger size than lakes, and in oceans the depth is miles deep and plate tectonics move causing huge waves. Then in lakes the waves are small because they bounce back and forth.Also because of the tide, if the tide is high with okay wind the waves aren't gonna be so great, but if the tide is low with great big winds the waves will be amazing!

What else can I help you with?
Why do big sails go faster than smaller sails?
Bigger sails can handle the waves of the ocean well than the smaller vessels and bigger sails has bigger engines on them giving them more power and stability in the ocean
Is a SEA smaller than an OCEAN or is an OCEAN smaller than a SEA?
A 'Sea' is smaller than an 'Ocean'. Think of the largestr SEA in the world . It is named the Pacific OCEAN.
What you call an area of water smaller than an ocean?
GULF EXAMPLE: gulf of Mexico
What is the difference between a sea and a lake?
A sea is a large body of saltwater that is connected to an ocean, while a lake is a smaller body of freshwater that is surrounded by land. Seas are typically larger and deeper than lakes, and they are usually connected to the ocean through a narrow passage. Lakes are usually smaller and shallower than seas, and they are completely surrounded by land.
What is a body of salt water smaller than the ocean?
A Sea is smaller than an Ocean.
How can a fully developed sea have waves that are bugger or smaller than maximum theoretical size?
Waves can be bigger or smaller than the maximum theoretical size due to factors such as the depth and shape of the seafloor, wind speed and direction, and interactions with other waves. These variables can cause waves to amplify or decrease in size as they travel across the ocean.
What is the difference between lakes and seas?
Lakes are bodies of water that are surrounded by land, while seas are large bodies of saltwater that are connected to the ocean. Lakes are typically smaller and shallower than seas, and are often found inland, while seas are larger and deeper bodies of water that are part of the ocean.
Which of the following water waves has more energy: ocean waves or ripples?
Ocean waves have more energy than ripples.
What are all the Lakes in the Unite state of America?
A lake is alrge body of water that is larger than a pond but smaller an ocean and doesn't produce waves normally. However, they're still the same just because they're in the US doesn't make them different. :) Hope I Helped
How are ultraviolet waves different from light waves?
Ultraviolet waves are smaller than light waves.
What is the smallest electromagnetic wave?
That depends on what you call "small". -- Gamma rays are smaller than x-rays, but -- x-rays are smaller than ultraviolet rays, but -- ultraviolet rays are smaller than blue light waves, but -- blue light waves are smaller than green, yellow, and orange light waves, but -- any of those are smaller than red light waves, but -- red light waves are smaller than heat waves, but -- heat waves are smaller than radio waves.
What is a body of water smaller than an ocean but larger than a gulf or bay?
The answer is a Sea! (or a few salt-water lakes like the Great Salt Lake of Utah or Mono Lake of California)
