Ocean waves form?

From wind.


What forces cause most ocean waves?

Area of ocean in which wind blows (fetch), wind velocity, and wind duration control the size of ocean waves.


Where do ocean waves start?

Ocean waves are formed by the wind transferring its energy to the surface of the water. When the wind blows across the surface of the ocean, it creates ripples that then develop into waves. The size and power of the waves depend on factors such as wind speed, duration, and fetch (the distance over which the wind blows).

What gives ocean waves energy?

Ocean waves get their energy primarily from wind. As the wind blows across the surface of the water, it transfers some of its energy to the water, creating waves. The energy in ocean waves can also be influenced by factors such as the distance the wind travels over the water (fetch) and the strength of the wind.
