What is off shore and on shore wind?

Offshore wind refers to wind that blows from the sea towards the land, while onshore wind refers to wind that blows from the land towards the sea. Offshore wind is often stronger and more consistent than onshore wind, making it a valuable source of renewable energy for offshore wind farms.


What type of wind is a movement to air toward water?

An off shore brease.


Why is wave power a renewable resource?

Waves are produced by the shearing action of the wind blowing above the surface of the water body. Waves are considered as a renewable source of energy as they are an inexhaustible source of energy and have a high energy density. The energy density of waves close to the shore is about 20 kW/m of shore line whereas the energy density is about 60-80 kW/m off-shore (about 6-10 kms off-shore). Devices such as the Oscillating Water Column, the Pelamis, the Clam, the Floating buoys are some of the devices that are used to derive energy from the waves.


Which way is the wind blowing when it is an off shore wind?

It depends whether the shore is North, South, East or West of the sea.


What are 3 types of waves that can be reflected?

Light waves: when light hits a smooth surface, it can be reflected. Sound waves: sound can bounce off hard surfaces such as walls, resulting in reflection. Water waves: waves in the ocean or a pond can be reflected off a barrier or shore.


How do waves form a beach?

Waves form a beach by eroding (moving) and depositing (dropping off) sand at a shore repeatedly until it makes a beach.


Where is the wind good for wind farms?

Wind farms are ideally located in large open areas of land or on and off shore coastal areas where the wind blows steadily for long periods of time.


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).


What effect does waves and currents have on shorelines?

wave direction at sea is determined by the wind,waves usually roll toward shore at an angle.But as thhey touch bottom,the shallower water slows the shoreward side of the wave first.The rows of waves gradually turn and become more nearly parallel to the shore.


Is a breeze always named for the direction that it came from?

Yes.... An off-shore breeze blows from the land towards the sea. An on-shore breeze blows from the sea onto the shore.
