the moon and its influence on the earths gravity. Also the earth is spinning, so its like sloshing water around a glass delicately.

WRONG! Normal waves (i.e. not tsunami) are built up by the wind blowing across the water's surface. The Moon (and Sun) control the tides, not waves. The Earth's rotation does NOT "slosh" the sea about. [Tsunami are thrown up by undersea earthquakes or, less commonly, major sediment slides down steep slopes.]
What else can I help you with?
Why do ships in the open ocean not notice passage of a tsunami wave?
Seismic waves moving through the ocean do not form tsunami's until they approach land. At that point the forward motion of the waves pile up on the land and form a series of forward flows that do not have an opportunity to recede due to the following waves. As a result, the waves keep coming on top of the previous waves and come farther inland. Ships at sea do not notice the tsunami until they are over the continental shelf.
How are ocean swells different from whitecaps?
Oh, dude, ocean swells and whitecaps are like totally different vibes. Swells are like these smooth, rolling waves that travel across the ocean, while whitecaps are like the frothy, bubbly waves that form when the wind blows on the water. It's like comparing a chill surfer dude to a hyperactive puppy - same ocean, different energy, man.
Which one of these is not an inexhaustible resource?
ocean waves
What forces cause most ocean waves?
Area of ocean in which wind blows (fetch), wind velocity, and wind duration control the size of ocean waves.
Why does the Pacific Ocean have some of the largest waves?
because the pacific ocean is right on top of the tectonic plates
Energy from the ocean waves is another form of what?
what Energy from the ocean waves is another form of
Ocean waves form?
From wind.
Is ocean waves electromagnetic radiation?
No, ocean waves are not electromagnetic radiation. Ocean waves are physical oscillations of the water surface caused by the wind's energy transfer, while electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy that travels through space in the form of waves.
What energy from the ocean waves is another form of what?
energy
How do ocean waves form?
Ocean waves form as wind blows across the surface of the water, creating friction and energy that transfers to the water. The energy causes the water to move in a circular motion, forming waves that travel across the ocean's surface. Factors such as wind speed, duration, and distance over which it blows determine the size and strength of the waves.
How does the concept of waves envelope impact the behavior of ocean currents?
The concept of waves influences ocean currents by transferring energy and momentum. Waves can cause surface currents to form, which can affect the movement of water in the ocean. The interaction between waves and currents can impact the behavior of ocean circulation patterns.
Which waves are in the ocean?
Ocean waves created by energy in the water are the waves that can be found in the ocean.
How sea caves form?
Sea caves form by ocean waves pounding at the base of seashore cliffs.
What happens to sea shells in the ocean?
They form from the waves and thesand pressure so...when the waves get bigger the more shells!
Where do ocean waves start?
Ocean waves are formed by the wind transferring its energy to the surface of the water. When the wind blows across the surface of the ocean, it creates ripples that then develop into waves. The size and power of the waves depend on factors such as wind speed, duration, and fetch (the distance over which the wind blows).
How do white cap waves form in the ocean and what factors contribute to their creation?
White cap waves form in the ocean when strong winds create turbulence on the surface, causing the waves to break and form white foam. Factors that contribute to their creation include wind speed, duration, and fetch (the distance over which the wind blows).
What causes white caps to form in the ocean?
White caps form in the ocean due to strong winds creating waves that break and create foam on the surface of the water.
