As a young Christian I was reading in the book of Job where God appeared to Job and Elihu and chided Job for questioning his right to do as he pleased with Job's life. God asked Job a number of hard questions concerning natural phenomenen and one question jumped out at me. "By what way is the light parted which scatters the east wind upon the earth"? I kinda got excited about that and told it to several people, one of whom had some background in physics. He got excited and told me this. "White light from the sun comes to earth in several, (eight or nine), frequencies, and different elements in the atmosphere allow some frequencies to pass through while blocking other frequencies, thereby causing air masses to heat unevenly and turbulence, or wind to be the result....Any physics majors out there?

What Some of the sun is converted into wind and water waves?
what of the sun is converted into wind and water waves
How does wind cause waves?
Wind causes waves as it disrupts the water's surface. Its constant and repetitive motion is transferred into the water which generates waves.
How does the length of time that wind blows over water affect the amount of energy in a wave?
They result from the wind blowing over an area of fluid surface, of wind-generated waves that are not usually affected by the local wind at that time.

What three factors affect waves?
heat,wind and lunar position
What can affect the rate of weathering?
wind, water, waves, & glacier
What Some of the sun is converted into wind and water waves?
what of the sun is converted into wind and water waves
What creates light waves?
The wind and the temperature of the water makes it move, and the heavier it is the faster it moves.
How does wind affect ocean waters?
it affect ocean water because if the air is warm the air can go pass the water and it can make water temperature high
How can the energy of waves traveling through water affect a shorline?
wind that results from summer hurricanes and severe winter storms make large waves
What are the causes that affect the shape of the land overtime?
Wind, water, waves, ice, weathering and erosion affect the shape of land over time.
How does wind cause waves?
Wind causes waves as it disrupts the water's surface. Its constant and repetitive motion is transferred into the water which generates waves.
What are the factor affecting the movement of ocean water?
Wind, temperature, salinity, tides and the breaking of waves are some of the factors that affect the movement of ocean water.
How does air movement affect the water?
Air movement can affect water in a few ways. First, strong winds can create waves and turbulence on the surface of the water, leading to increased mixing and movement. Second, wind can cause water to evaporate more rapidly, as it enhances the rate of evaporation. Finally, wind can also influence ocean currents by pushing water in a certain direction, resulting in the movement of water masses over long distances.
Wind and water can cause?
Waves.
What are the affecting the the height of the waves?
The speed of the wind, gravitational pull of the moon interactions with other waves time duration the wind has blown over a given area width of area affected by fetch water depth. These are some of the reasons that affect the height of ocean waves.
What travels in waves?
Mechanical waves such as sound and water waves.Electromagnetic waves, such as light, radio, microwaves, x-rays.
