Normal (i.e. not tsunami) waves on the ocean are caused by the wind blowing over the ocean surface. The wind transfers some of its energy to the water surface, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules. Stronger winds caused by storms result in larger waves and the larger the stretch of ocean over which the wind is blowing, the larger the waves.
The winds cause waves on the surface of the ocean (and on lakes). The wind transfers some of its energy to the water, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules. Stronger winds (like storm surges) cause larger waves. You can make your own miniature waves by blowing across the surface of a pan of water.
The wind.
the pacific and Atlantic oceans meet at the tiny gap between cape horn and Antarctica. This causes huge waves to form as the oceans collide.
Most ocean waves obtain thier energy and motion from
Sediments are droppng out of of waves and spread about, but eroson causes the waves to affect .
no oceans do not effect waves and tides
wind
because it waves
If we did not have the moon, there would be no waves.
It is the winds, often far out into the oceans, that create waves.
Water waves are formed by the force of the wind agianst the water and air goes forward and finally develops a circular motion. This motion causes a pressure to go down on the surface at its front, and pressure going up and this causes the surface to take on the form of a wave.
