How are sea waves form?
Sea waves are formed by the friction between wind and the water's surface. As wind blows over the ocean, it transfers energy to the water, causing it to move in circular patterns. These circular motions form waves that travel across the ocean's surface.
Picture of energy transfer when a raindrop hits water in a pond?
When a raindrop hits water in a pond, the kinetic energy of the raindrop is transferred to the water. This energy causes ripples to form on the water's surface as the impact creates waves that spread outwards. Some of the energy is also dissipated as sound energy and heat.
What kind of waves are water waves?
Water waves are formed by the force of the wind agianst the water and air goes forward and finally develops a circular motion. This motion causes a pressure to go down on the surface at its front, and pressure going up and this causes the surface to take on the form of a wave.
Are waves the result of adding energy in the form of motion to the water?
Yes, waves are the result of energy transferred from wind to the surface of the water, causing it to move in a circular motion. This motion creates the characteristic wave patterns we see on the surface of bodies of water.
What are water waves and how do they form and propagate in bodies of water?
Water waves are disturbances on the surface of bodies of water caused by the transfer of energy from wind or other sources. They form when wind blows over the surface of the water, creating ripples that develop into waves. These waves propagate by transferring energy from one water molecule to another, causing the water to move in a circular motion. The size and speed of water waves depend on factors such as wind speed, water depth, and the distance over which the wind blows.

How do ocean waves form?
Ocean waves form as wind blows across the surface of the water, creating friction and energy that transfers to the water. The energy causes the water to move in a circular motion, forming waves that travel across the ocean's surface. Factors such as wind speed, duration, and distance over which it blows determine the size and strength of the waves.
Why rainbow have curved shape?
Rainbows appear as curved shapes due to the refraction, dispersion, and reflection of sunlight in raindrops. When sunlight enters a raindrop, it bends (refracts) and splits into its constituent colors. As the light reflects off the inside surface of the raindrop and exits back into the air, it refracts again, creating a circular arc. The curvature is a result of the light's angle and the spherical shape of the raindrops, which collectively form a circular pattern in the sky when viewed from a specific angle.
How do surface waves differ form body waves?
Body waves: seismic waves that travel through the body of a medium Surface waves: seismic waves that travel along the surface of a medium and have a strong effect near the surface of the medium than it has in the interior
Where do surface waves occur?
Surface waves occur at the boundary between two different mediums, such as air and water, or air and land. They travel along the interface, transferring energy in the form of ripples or undulations on the surface. Examples of surface waves include ocean waves, seismic waves, and electromagnetic waves.

What form will wave have if a stone is tossed into smoothly flowing water?
The same circles will form and travel downstream
How do big waves form?
Big waves form from the interaction of strong winds over a large expanse of water, which transfers energy to the surface. The energy causes the water to move in a circular motion, creating swells that eventually grow into large waves as they travel across the ocean. Topography and underwater features can also amplify wave height in certain locations.
What are semistic waves?
I believe you may be referring to "seismic waves", which are waves that move through the Earth following a major event, such as an earthquake, volcanic eruption, large explosion or impact. Scientists who study seismic waves, referred to as seismologists, note that there are different types of seismic waves which are differentiated by the speed, depth and amplitude of the wave. Following an earthquake, fast moving seismic waves at the surface may cause tremendous destruction while, further from the epicenter, slower waves traveling at greater depths may go unnoticed.
