Whitecaps happen when strong wind push off the top of the wave.
A small wave with a foamy crest is typically referred to as a whitecap. Whitecaps are formed when the wind picks up water droplets and creates a bubbly appearance on the surface of the wave.
The foam at the top of a wave is called 'spume'
The white foam that forms on top of waves is called surf or spindrift. It is caused by the mixing of air with the water as the wave breaks, creating bubbles and frothy texture.
The amplitude of a standing wave formed by the interference of two traveling waves is the maximum displacement of the wave from its equilibrium position.
Transverse wave
A whitecap is a wave where the tip is usally white.
A swell is a wave or series of waves that are caused by surface gravity. However a whitecap wave is caused by the wind.

it is a wave that is formed by energy

The two features formed by wave deposition are islands and beaches.
swells vary and whitecaps are completely different
The three features formed by wave deposition is spits, beach, and sandbars.
a beach is formed by deposition
Whitecap limpets are filter feeders, using their gills to trap microscopic algae and organic particles from the water. They use their radula, a rough tongue-like structure, to scrape off and consume this food. Whitecap limpets mostly feed at night when there is more food available in the water.
