What is the source of energy for these waves?

The source of energy for ocean waves is primarily wind. Wind blowing across the surface of the ocean transfers its energy to the water, creating waves. The size and strength of the waves depend on factors such as wind speed, duration, and the distance over which the wind blows.


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.


What were the 2 sources of energy suggested by oparin theory?

The two sources of energy suggested by Oparin's theory were ultraviolet light and lightning. These energy sources were thought to have provided the necessary energy for chemical reactions to occur and form organic molecules in the early Earth's atmosphere.


Why can the movement of water create more energy than the movement of wind?

Greater mass of waves. Force = Mass * Acceleration so where Acceleration is the same, Mass(wave) > Mass (wind), the force of waves is much greater, thusly waves have more "potential". You can also use E=MC^2 Energy = Mass * speed of light squared. Mass(wave) > Mass (wind), more energy in waves. <<>> I would guess that the total energy in the wind over the world is more than the energy in waves in all the oceans. That is because waves occur in a thin layer at the top of the water, while the wind blows everywhere at all heights.


Define wave and its types?

a wave is a phenomenon that transfers energy, not matter. there are 2 types of waves: transverse e.g. light and longitudinal e.g. sound, seismic im not that good at physics, but that's the best i can come up with, sorry ^^;;

What are 2 forces through which ocean waves cause erosion?

Two forces through which ocean waves cause erosion are hydraulic action, where the force of the water breaks rock particles away from the coastline, and abrasion, where these particles are then carried and used to wear away the coast.


What 2 forms of energy are created by waves?

No form of energy is ever created, you can only change one form into another. Waves come in many forms, and all of them carry energy, which can be transformed into other kinds of energy. Water waves, for instance, carry kinetic energy which can drive a generator to produce electrical energy, as well as waste heat energy. Light energy travels as waves, and this can be changed by a solar cell into electrical energy, or by a plant into chemical energy.

What is being carried by sound waves?

Sound waves are carried throw the air. But sound waves can also travel throw liquids, such as water, and even through solids.
