Why does the shape and height of the wave depends on the speed of the wind?

This is because the waves formed in the sea are caused by the blowing wind. As the wind blows over the water,stream of wind pushes the overlying water towards the direction it is moving.Therefore,the speed of water determines the size and shape of the wind.

Amplitude is the speed of the wave?
No. Aplitude is the height of the wave. Frequency and wavelength can be used to calculate the speed of the wave by multiplying them together (if the units are appropriate).
What is the speed of a wave dependent upon?
The medium in which it travels.
Is the wave of speed dependent on the amplitude?
No. Wave speed depends on frequency and wavelength, not amplitude.
A wave breaks when its steepness exceeds?
I believe a wave breaks when its steepness exceeds its height and speed.
Does wave speed depend on wave amplitude?
No. Wave speed depends on frequency and wavelength, not amplitude.

What determines wave speed?
The speed of a wave depends on the medium it is traveling through.
What is the speed of a wave dependent upon?
The medium in which it travels.
Is the wave of speed dependent on the amplitude?
No. Wave speed depends on frequency and wavelength, not amplitude.
The Speed of a wave in a medium?
It depends on what type of wave and in which medium.
A wave breaks when its steepness exceeds?
I believe a wave breaks when its steepness exceeds its height and speed.
The hieght of a wave in earthquakes?
The height of the wave in the earthquakes depends with the earthquake in question.
The height of a wave above the median line?
The distance between the line of origin and the crest/trough of a wave is called the amplitude of the wave.
What are things the speed of a wave depends on?
The medium.
Does wave speed depend on wave amplitude?
No. Wave speed depends on frequency and wavelength, not amplitude.
Does surfing have speed?
Yes surfing has speed. Depends on how fast the wave is going.
Intensity of the wave vs. the speed of the wave?
height is the intensity, the distance covered by a wave divided by the time it takes is the speed. (ie. short waves = low intensity, fat waves = slow waves)
