What is the effect of wind energy on waves?

Wind energy can generate waves by transferring energy from the wind to the water's surface. Stronger winds can create larger waves, while wind direction can influence wave direction and quality for surfers. Overall, wind energy plays a significant role in shaping wave conditions in the ocean.


Are waves made by wind or the moon?

I believe both play a factor in waves... I do know that if we didn't have the moon there would be no waves, tides, etc. therefore no life would have evolved. Wind just makes the waves, well... more wavier.

What gives waves their energy?

Waves get their energy from the wind. The stronger the wind, the more energy the waves will have. If there is less wind, the waves will have less energy.


Where do waves get their energy from?

ocean waves get their energy from wind, the faster the wind and the longer the fetch the bigger the waves, low pressure systems, cold fronts and other weather systems generate most waves the sun is the main source of energy though it makes the wind stronger or weakerthey are energy


Why do some ocean currents travel the direction they do?

They travel the way they do because when the wind blows it makes waves and goes to the direction the wind is blowing.


Why does the moon makes the waves?
