What are large waves made by?

Large waves are typically made by strong winds blowing across a large stretch of water, which creates friction and transfers energy to the water, causing the waves to form. Other factors like storms, earthquakes, or volcanic activity can also generate large waves known as tsunamis.


How do sound waves differ from water waves?

Sound waves are longitudinal waves that travel through a medium like air, while water waves are transverse waves that propagate on the surface of water bodies. Sound waves require a medium for propagation, whereas water waves do not. Additionally, sound waves transfer energy by causing particles in the medium to vibrate, while water waves involve the periodic movement of water molecules.


What kind of waves are water waves and how do they differ from other types of waves?

Water waves are a type of mechanical waves that travel through water. They differ from other types of waves, such as electromagnetic waves, in that they require a medium, like water, to propagate. Water waves are caused by the disturbance of the water's surface, while electromagnetic waves do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.


Is water waves a electromagnetic wave?

No, water waves are mechanical waves that result from the movement of water molecules. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, are waves of energy that do not require a medium to travel through and include light, radio waves, and microwaves.


How are water waves different from electromagnetic waves?

Water waves are mechanical waves that require a medium (water) to propagate, while electromagnetic waves are a form of energy that can travel through a vacuum. Water waves exhibit transverse motion, while electromagnetic waves have electric and magnetic fields oscillating perpendicular to each other and the direction of wave propagation. Additionally, water waves have lower frequencies and wavelengths compared to electromagnetic waves.

Do lakes have waves?

They do not have natural waves but if someone did a belly flop into the water then waves would be made.

How are hurricanes related to waves?

The winds from a hurricane blowing across the water's surface creates waves. The stronger the wind, the bigger the waves. Put some water in a bowl and blow across the surface. You made waves.

How are currents different from waves?

Currents are a small source of water moving and waves are a bigger source of water moving. The waves are control (more or less made) by the wind where as the waves control and create the currents which is pretty strange. Currents are the one associated with the movement of water where as Waves carry only Energy i.e. NO mass transport


Are longitudinal waves water waves?

Yes, water waves are a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motions.


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.
