Why don't most lakes get big waves?
Most Lakes do not get big waves is because they are not a large enough body of water. Lakes only get big waves in storms.
Who are waves?
You mean 'What are waves?' Waves are the bobbly things you see on ponds, lakes and the sea.
Are tsunamis waves in lakes and rivers caused by earthquakes?
no
The highest lake waves cannot be as big as the highest ocean waves because lakes have?
The highest lake waves cannot be as big as the highest ocean waves because lakes generally have smaller surface areas and lower wind fetches compared to oceans, which restricts the size of waves that can form. Additionally, ocean waves are influenced by longer and more powerful wind systems that can generate larger waves.
Why do lakes have smaller waves than the ocean?
Waves are bigger in oceans than in small lakes because, the ocean is in a much much larger size than lakes, and in oceans the depth is miles deep and plate tectonics move causing huge waves. Then in lakes the waves are small because they bounce back and forth.Also because of the tide, if the tide is high with okay wind the waves aren't gonna be so great, but if the tide is low with great big winds the waves will be amazing!

Can the great lakes have tsunamis?
I don't think they can but there can be great waves depends on the forecast.
Why does only the sea have waves but not the pond or lake?
Ponds and lakes both have waves. They are miniscule and often not visible except in the larger bodies.
What are three types of transverse waves?
Light waves: Electromagnetic waves that can propagate through vacuum. Seismic waves: Waves generated by the movement of the Earth's crust during an earthquake. Surface water waves: Waves that form on the surface of water bodies, such as oceans, lakes, and rivers.
Can your surf in great lakes?
You can surfboard out there but there might not be alot of waves, but make sure you know how to surf.
Can you get from Lake Michigan to Lake Ontario by boat?
The simple answer is no. Both lakes are too rough for a house boat. House boats are designed for calm inland waters and do not fair well in large waves. The great lakes are more like inland seas than lakes, lake Michigan has 3' - 6' waves on a regular basis and in storm conditions waves can exceed 10' ________________________________________________________________ Commets: - Wowwy! That was interesting! ~ I can not belive it, but whoever tiped this, this is smart! :)
Why are waves in lakes not like the waves in oceans?
It's simply a matter of scale. Water will always find its own level & waves are caused by air movement affecting the surface: The larger the surface area the greater the effects.
Does Lake Superior have strong waves?
Sometimes. Especially when it is stormy , and after the Spring melt when all the inland waters are at their highest. Lakes as large as the Great Lakes can also be subject to tides and riptides.
