The energy of ocean waves comes from the energy of?
Mostly by wind blowing across the water's surface.
How does wind energy transfer from the air to the water, and what are the mechanisms involved in this process?
Wind energy is transferred from the air to the water through a process called wind-induced surface waves. When wind blows over the surface of the water, it creates friction and transfers some of its energy to the water, causing the water molecules to move and generate waves. These waves then carry the energy across the water's surface. The main mechanisms involved in this process are the transfer of momentum from the wind to the water, the generation of surface waves, and the propagation of these waves across the water.
What do water waves carry?
Water waves carry energy and momentum as they travel across bodies of water. They do not carry water itself, but instead cause the water particles to move in a circular motion as the wave passes by. The energy of water waves is influenced by factors such as wind speed, water depth, and the distance over which the wind blows.
How do particles move differently in transverse waves or surface water waves?
In transverse waves, particles move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, creating a side-to-side displacement. In surface water waves, particles move in circular orbits, with the water surface rising and falling as the wave passes. This circular motion of particles allows energy to be transmitted horizontally across the surface of the water.
What 2 spheres interact to cause waves in the ocean?
The interaction between the atmosphere (air) and the hydrosphere (water) causes waves in the ocean. Wind transfers energy to the water's surface, creating ripples that evolve into waves as they move across the ocean.

Why do waves move?
many different reasons. wind can blow across the surface of the water, energy can pass through causing waves,

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 are Waves are carriers of energy?
Waves are carriers of energy because waves are caused by energy flowing through the water making them move in a wavy motion. The waves are also caused by the wind blowing on the top of the water.
Pictures on how waves are formed?
Unfortunately, I am unable to provide pictures as I am a text-based AI. However, waves are typically formed by the transfer of energy from the wind to the water's surface. Wind causes friction on the surface of the water, creating ripples that develop into waves as they move across the water.
If a wave move from one side of the lake to the other. Does the water move across the lake?
Waves travel through water, but they do not carry the water with them.
What are examples of energy being transferred by water waves?
Energy is transferred by water waves when they move across the surface of the water and cause the water particles to oscillate back and forth. This energy transfer can create movement in objects floating on the water's surface, such as boats or buoys, or generate power through wave energy converters.
What characteristics of water waves make them transverse waves?
Water waves are transverse waves because they move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's energy transfer. This means that the particles of water move up and down as the wave travels horizontally.
