How is a whitecap wave formed?
A whitecap wave is formed when strong winds blow across the surface of the water, causing friction between the air and the water. This friction creates small waves that eventually merge and grow in size, forming whitecaps at their crests where the waves break.
What is the foam called on the crest of a wave?
The foam at the top of a wave is called 'spume'
What are waves that spread called?
Waves that spread outwards in all directions are called spherical waves.
Waves with many frequencies and wavelengths?
These types of waves are called broadband waves. They contain many different frequencies and wavelengths, allowing them to carry a wide range of information simultaneously. Examples include white light and radio waves used for broadcasting.
Are electromagnetic waves that are felt as heat are called radio waves?
No, electromagnetic waves that are felt as heat are called infrared waves, not radio waves. Radio waves have lower frequencies and longer wavelengths than infrared waves.

What is the difference between swell and whitecap?

What are waves produces by earthquakes called?
The waves produced by earthquakes are called seismic waves.
What are earth waves called?
They're called 'seismic' waves.
What are waves that spread called?
Waves that spread outwards in all directions are called spherical waves.
Upper atmoshperic waves are also called?
They are called by either Planetary waves or Rossby waves.
