Waves are created when wind moves across the surface of water. The size, speed and direction of the wave when it reaches the shore is determined by the speed of the wind, the amount of time the wind is blowing in the same direction, and distance over which the wind blows in a constant direction. Tsunami's are waves created by earthquakes. Boats can make waves too. You can make ripple waves in a puddle or lake by throwing a rock into the water. Tides are not the same as waves but can effect waves. Tides are created by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.
There are many forms of water waves. The characteristics of water waves that are transverse waves are that the particles of the wave move perpendicular to the direction the wave moves.
an earthquake's epicentre is under the plates and if the epicentre is near or under water, the vibrations will disturb the water and make waves or even tsunamis.
Water waves are transverse waves because they move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's energy transfer. This means that the particles of water move up and down as the wave travels horizontally.
waves and currents make the shore bigger
don't go in the water then cause it's impossable to make waves stop
No, it is the wind that creates waves by transferring its energy to the water's surface. Waves are generated when the wind blows across the surface of the water, causing ripples and eventually forming waves.
Water waves are mechanical waves that transfer energy through water molecules, while sound waves are longitudinal waves that transfer energy through air molecules. Water waves require a medium (water) to travel, while sound waves can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. Sound waves travel faster through denser mediums, while water waves travel at different speeds depending on the depth of the water.
Yes, a bell can make sound waves underwater. When a bell is struck underwater, it produces vibrations that travel through the water as sound waves. The sound waves can be heard by anyone underwater within the vicinity of the bell.
From the water crashing down on the sand.
it will make waves
Sound waves are longitudinal waves that travel through a medium like air, while water waves are transverse waves that propagate on the surface of water bodies. Sound waves require a medium for propagation, whereas water waves do not. Additionally, sound waves transfer energy by causing particles in the medium to vibrate, while water waves involve the periodic movement of water molecules.
Yes, water waves are a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motions.
