the wind
The primary source of wave energy and motion is wind blowing over the surface of the water. This friction between the wind and the water creates waves that propagate through the ocean. Other factors such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and underwater landslides can also generate waves known as tsunamis.
When the amplitudes of waves are equal, waves with higher frequencies have more energy. This is because energy is directly proportional to frequency for waves with the same amplitude.
Wind is the most common cause of waves because it generates friction as it blows over the surface of the water, transferring some of its energy to the water. This energy causes the water molecules to move in a circular motion, forming waves. The size and strength of the waves depend on factors such as wind speed, duration, and the distance that the wind has traveled over the water.
Electromagnetic waves such as gamma rays and X-rays carry the most energy. They have short wavelengths and high frequencies which correspond to high energy levels.
A mechanical wave requires a medium to transfer the energy it carries, unlike EMR waves. There are several types of mechanical waves, most of them being found in an earthquake. Mechanical waves are all longitudinal waves.

yes energy is most inportant
visible light
Surface waves (e.g. Rayleigh waves, Love waves) that produce vertical motion of the ground surface produce the most damage during an earthquake.
Electromagnetic waves such as gamma rays and X-rays carry the most energy. They have short wavelengths and high frequencies which correspond to high energy levels.
A mechanical wave requires a medium to transfer the energy it carries, unlike EMR waves. There are several types of mechanical waves, most of them being found in an earthquake. Mechanical waves are all longitudinal waves.
Gamma rays have the most energy among all electromagnetic waves. They have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency, carrying a significant amount of energy.
