wind speed, length of time the wind has blown, and fetch
kilometers do not create waves. They are units of measurement.
White cap waves form in the ocean when strong winds create turbulence on the surface, causing the waves to break and form white foam. Factors that contribute to their creation include wind speed, duration, and fetch (the distance over which the wind blows).
Waves in the open ocean are called ocean waves. These waves are generated by the wind and can travel vast distances across the ocean. Ocean waves can vary in size and strength depending on factors like wind speed and duration.
It is the winds, often far out into the oceans, that create waves.
No Chance stop the waves in the ocean, don't think it.
Waves can be generated by wind, but other factors like tides and seismic activity can also create waves. Once waves are generated, they can propagate across the ocean without direct wind involvement. Therefore, while wind can influence waves, it is not always necessary for waves to exist.
Ocean waves typically travel at speeds ranging from 5 to 60 kilometers per hour. The speed of ocean waves is influenced by factors such as wind speed, wind duration, and the distance over which the wind blows.
The Sun doesn't create waves on the ocean and large bodies of water. The waves are caused by the wind.
The highest waves in the ocean are usually caused by a storm or earthquake. An earthquake at sea can cause mass destruction if the waves crash into land.
Currents, tides, & waves.
Earthquake or Strong Winds
White caps in the ocean are formed when strong winds create waves that break and create foam on the surface of the water.
