Mainly the strenght of the wind passing over the water. Also the fetch, or distance that a wave has to develope. Finally, the beach profile will also effect the size and how the wave breaks.
what Energy from the ocean waves is another form of
Physical oceanography is the special area of oceanography that deals with currents and waves. It is the study of physical attributes of the ocean.
it goes in the ocean nd affects the fish :P
Mechanical waves.For example, sound waves, ocean waves, etc.Many waves need a medium to travel: sound waves, water waves, and seismic waves.Electromagnetic waves do not need a medium.
the sizes of the oceans depend on how large does each continent have and the ocean takes up 75% of the earth.
Waves in the open ocean are called ocean waves. These waves are generated by the wind and can travel vast distances across the ocean. Ocean waves can vary in size and strength depending on factors like wind speed and duration.
The moon, right? I think so anyway.
The depth of water affects wave size. As waves come toward land from the ocean, they are underwater. As the water (and wave) hit the bottom of the ocean approaching land, the wave is pushed up and becomes a very noticable event on the water surface. The more the water depth decreases, the farther the wave is pushed up - that's where those big surfer's waves come from.
The waves in the open ocean are usually caused by the friction of the winds over the open ocean of water. The waves in the ocean vary in strength and size depending with the speed of wind and the friction with the surface of water.

Area of ocean in which wind blows (fetch), wind velocity, and wind duration control the size of ocean waves.
Ocean waves created by energy in the water are the waves that can be found in the ocean.
Seismic waves, specifically surface waves, can affect the surface of the land by causing it to rise and fall like waves on an ocean. These waves are typically generated during an earthquake and can produce the most visible effects on the Earth's surface.
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).
The ocean...
because butts fell in the water and the water kept rising so the size increased.
Ocean waves are formed by the transfer of energy from the wind to the water's surface. Factors that influence the size and frequency of ocean waves include wind speed, duration, and fetch (the distance over which the wind blows). Stronger winds, longer duration, and greater fetch result in larger and more frequent waves. Other factors such as water depth and the shape of the coastline can also affect wave size and frequency.
