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.
The highest lake waves cannot be as big as the highest ocean waves because lakes generally have smaller surface areas and lower wind fetches compared to oceans, which restricts the size of waves that can form. Additionally, ocean waves are influenced by longer and more powerful wind systems that can generate larger waves.
the wind
waves
kilometers do not create waves. They are units of measurement.
ocean waves have to do with water and sound waves have to do with sound
waves
it causes current waves.
Winds and subsea movement of water.
Surface gravity waves not created by wind
Mostly its wind.
The interaction between the atmosphere (air) and the hydrosphere (water) causes waves in the ocean. Wind transfers energy to the water's surface, creating ripples that evolve into waves as they move across the ocean.
