What else can I help you with?
What causes the ocean waves that surfers use for their sport?
Wind blowing across the water (Apex)
What is blowing across the ocean surface cause friction which results in?
What is blowing across the ocean surface causes friction, which results in the transfer of energy from the wind to the water, creating waves and ocean currents. This energy transfer plays a significant role in driving the circulation patterns of the ocean and affecting weather patterns.
How does the energy from the sun produce waves?
It warms the atmosphere which causes convection and wind. The wind blowing across the surface of water causes waves.
What causes powerful waves?
the wind!
Wind blowing across the ocean surface provides the disturbing force for?
It provides force for heat
Where do the waves come from?
Waves are created by the transfer of energy from winds blowing across the surface of the water. The friction between the wind and the surface of the water causes ripples to form, which can develop into waves as they travel across the ocean.
The energy of ocean waves comes from the energy of?
Mostly by wind blowing across the water's surface.
Where do Surface waves get their energy from?
The Sun and the Moon gravitational pull on the earth causes high and low tides which give the ocean waves their energy. Ocean waves get their energy from wind blowing across the surface of the water. When the wind contacts the water, some of its energy is transferred.
Which city do the winds blow across an ocean?
The city where winds blow across an ocean can vary depending on the prevailing wind patterns. For example, cities like San Francisco, Cape Town, and Tokyo experience winds blowing across the ocean due to their coastal locations and prevailing wind directions.
Compare contrast How wind and glaciers abrade rock?
Wind abrades rock by sandblasting, this is the process in which wind causes the blowing of millions of grains of sand, which bump across the surface of rocks.
Is a strong west wind blowing across a region an example of potential energy?
No, it is an example for kinetic energy as the wind is blowing.
What causes oceans waves?
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.
