Why water make waves?

Waves are created when wind moves across the surface of water. The size, speed and direction of the wave when it reaches the shore is determined by the speed of the wind, the amount of time the wind is blowing in the same direction, and distance over which the wind blows in a constant direction. Tsunami's are waves created by earthquakes. Boats can make waves too. You can make ripple waves in a puddle or lake by throwing a rock into the water.
