They aren't. The Sun provides energy for water waves (and, indeed, for most processes on Earth), but water is only an intermediate storage of energy, in some cases.

True or false. Mechanical waves bring energy from the sun.?

False. The energy from the Sun comes in the form of electromagnetic waves. Those are not mechanical waves.


How does the energy from the sun produce waves?

It warms the atmosphere which causes convection and wind. The wind blowing across the surface of water causes waves.

What do you think happens to the energy from the sun when it changes liquid water into water vapor?

The energy from the sun is in the form of electromagnetic radiation (light and non-visible waves). This light heats water both directly and indirectly (by heating the air or vessel in contact with the water). The electromagnetic energy of the sun is transformed into thermal energy, which in this case is random molecular motion of the water molecules.


What is the transfer of energy in the forms of waves?

As the ocean's waves absorb or release energy from the sun, the transfer of energy changes.
