How do Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability form?
Usually where there is a velocity difference across the face of two fluids- such as wind blowing across the surface of the water.
The energy of ocean waves comes from the energy of?
Mostly by wind blowing across the water's surface.
Which of these causes global winds to appear to turn instead of blow straight across the earth's surface?

Compare contrast How wind and glaciers abrade rock?
Wind abrades rock by sandblasting, this is the process in which wind causes the blowing of millions of grains of sand, which bump across the surface of rocks.
Is a strong west wind blowing across a region an example of potential energy?
No, it is an example for kinetic energy as the wind is blowing.
Which instrument is played by blowing horizontally across the open end of the instrument?
The Flute and the piccolo are both held horizontally, and they are both played by blowing across the top of the hole on the head joint piece.
Is a pointing device used by laying the palm of the hand over it and moving it across the surface of a pad that provides traction for a rolling ball on its bottom?
