When the wind blows across the water, it changes the water's surface, first into ripples and then into waves.

Do energy in the waves move across the water?

Yes, energy in waves moves across the water by causing the particles in the water to oscillate in a circular motion. This movement of water particles transfers energy throughout the body of water, generating wave motion.


What is energy that moves across distances in form of certain types of waves?

what is energy that moves across distance in the form of certain types of waves


As energy moves in the waves through the water the water moves?

in small circular movement


How water wave moves in water?

the sun and gravity are the two biggest movers of water. waves are created when wind moves across the surface of water. Tsunamis are waves created by earthquakes.


As energy moves in waves through the water the water moves?

As energy from waves moves through the water, the water itself also moves in a circular motion. This circular motion involves the transfer of energy through the water column, causing a vertical and horizontal movement of water particles in the direction of the wave propagation.


Compare waves and tides?

Tides are the rise and fall of sea level that is caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth while Waves are actually energy that moves across the surface of the water.


The energy of ocean waves comes from the energy of?

Mostly by wind blowing across the water's surface.


How do ocean waves get their energy and how is this energy transferred through the water?

Ocean waves get their energy from the wind, which creates friction on the surface of the water. This energy is transferred through the water by the movement of water particles in a circular motion, causing the waves to propagate and travel across the ocean.


What is the source of energy in ocean waves?

The ultimate source for the earth is sunlight. Due to the sunlight the water in the ocean surface get heat the water in the surface layers which makes the lighter and moves as hot waves towards the cold regions and cold water from the bottom or sides move up. Convection movements takes place and thus ocean waves are formed. Thus solar energy changes to mechanical energy in precise kinetic energy. Hope this will clarify the doubt


What do waves transport over distances?

Waves can transport energy and information over long distances. This can include sound waves carrying vibrations through the air or water waves transporting energy across the surface of a body of water.


How does water move in a wave?

the sun and gravity are the two biggest movers of water. waves are created when wind moves across the surface of water. Tsunamis are waves created by earthquakes.


Were does the energy that produces waves come from?

Wind that blows across the water surface.
