The sun cause wind, and the wind causes waves..
The sun causes wind because as the sun shines down on Earth, it warms the surface and so our air warms up as well. Some parts of the world get direct rays from the sun all year round and are always warm. Some other places do not get direct rays; they receive in direct sunrays, so the climate is colder. The warm air, which weighs less than the cold air, rises up. Then cool air moves about and replaces the rising warm air. This movement of air is what makes the wind blow.
Ocean waves are caused by the wind, which is caused by the sun (see above). The energy of the wind passes over the wave and due to friction it brings the water up with it. Once the wind has passed over or can no longer hold the water up, it drops the water. That is how the waves are caused - this up and down motion. The factors that effect wave size are wind strength and wind surface area, obviously the stronger the wind the bigger the wave is going to be.
What else can I help you with?
What are the waves that travel from the sun to earth?
Light waves travel from sun to the earth.
What are the basic cause of ocean tides?
Tides form due to variations of gravitatinal pull between earth ,moon and sun.
Is the surface of the sea is not level due to the tide?
There are a few things that cause the ocean surface not to be level. The small-scale variation or waves is caused by wind. The ocean level in various areas is also affected by wind patterns, ocean currents, variations in Earth's gravity, and the tides.
Which of these does not emit light waves the moon or a light bulbor the sun or a campfire?
The moon does not emit light waves. It reflects light from the sun. The sun, light bulb, and campfire emit light waves through processes like nuclear fusion or combustion.
How do scientists measure seismic waves on the sun?
Scientists measure seismic waves on the sun using a technique called helioseismology. This involves studying the oscillations on the sun's surface caused by the waves, which can provide insights into the sun's internal structure and dynamics. Instruments such as Doppler imagers and spectrometers are used to detect and analyze these seismic waves.
What two things that cause ocean waves?
The moon and wind (created by the sun heating the air)
How does the sun makes waves?
The Sun doesn't create waves on the ocean and large bodies of water. The waves are caused by the wind.
What waves have a motion that is similar to that of ocean waves?
Seismic waves, also known as ground waves, have a motion similar to ocean waves. They travel through the earth's crust and can cause the ground to shake, much like how ocean waves cause the water to move.
Do waves in the ocean cause erosion but not deposition?
No
What ocean waves cause when they carve out soft areas of a cliff?
deconstructive waves
How are ocean waves made?
The winds cause waves on the surface of the ocean. The wind transfers some of its energy to the water, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules. Stronger winds cause larger waves.
What are two things cause ocean waves?
moon and wind
Can waves from the ocean cause cliffs?
after a period of time yes
What are two thing that cause ocean waves?
u zux
How does wind affect ocean waves?
Gravity can pull water in and out, causing tide like motions. The gravity of the moon and sun, for example pull on the earths oceans and cause high and low tides.
What is the transfer of energy in the forms of waves?
As the ocean's waves absorb or release energy from the sun, the transfer of energy changes.
What would you expect to create the highest waves in the ocean?
The highest waves in the ocean are usually caused by a storm or earthquake. An earthquake at sea can cause mass destruction if the waves crash into land.
