What causes surface oceans to be deflected?
Most ocean waves obtain thier energy and motion from
How do ocean waves get their energy and how is this energy transferred through the water?
Ocean waves get their energy from the wind, which creates friction on the surface of the water. This energy is transferred through the water by the movement of water particles in a circular motion, causing the waves to propagate and travel across the ocean.
What is another sentence for ocean energy?
In California they have developed a system to obtain energy from the waves, the system is called Pelamis Wave Energy Convertor.
What is the new energy source found in the ocean that is currently very costly to obtain?
Not sure what this refers to; one energy source related to the ocean is getting energy from waves, another is tidal energy.
ARE ocean waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Ocean waves are considered to be a combination of both transverse and longitudinal waves. While the surface water particles move in a circular motion, causing a transverse wave motion, the energy in ocean waves propagates forward, exhibiting characteristics of a longitudinal wave.
The motion of these waves is similar to that of ocean waves?

Energy from the ocean waves is another form of what?

Which waves are in the ocean?
Ocean waves created by energy in the water are the waves that can be found in the ocean.
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.
What do waves carry through the ocean?
Waves in the ocean carry energy, transferring it from one place to another without permanently displacing the water particles. This energy can come from wind, tides, or seismic activity and is responsible for the motion and power of ocean waves.
In which direction do ocean waves travel in an up and down motion?
Ocean waves travel in an up and down motion in a vertical direction.
What makes an ocean wave wave?
An ocean wave is a disturbance on the surface of the ocean caused by energy transfer from wind. As the wind blows across the ocean, it creates ripples that develop into waves. The energy from the wind is transferred to the water, causing it to move in a circular motion, creating the characteristic rolling motion of waves.
