Generally speaking, if there were no influence on a body of water, be it a lake or the sea, the water should be still. However to quickly demonstrate how air in motion can influence a body of water using a scaled down mode...read more

Waves are natural phenomena best described as a form of movement through a medium such as a liquid, semi-solid or elastic and even air. Wave movement will often be characteristic of transference of energy such as a radio ...read more

The water of the oceans is in constant motion. The gravitational pull of the sun and moon oscillates the surface of the oceans twice a day while the wind agitates it into waves. The surface of the sea exerts a frictional ...read more

Waves are formed by the movement of the earth combined with the gravitational pull of the sun and moon to form what is called tide. Wave movement is symbolic of things of far greater importance. It is part of the mechanism...read more

There are 3 main factors that contribute to and cause the formation of waves. The first is wind. Wind out at sea has little resistance since there are no large landmasses above water and thus no buildings or mountains t...read more

Waves are created by energy or mass displacement of several different types of situations: 1) The gravitational force of the Moon varies at different points of the Earth. These minor variances which causes the waves ar...read more

How Waves Are Formed Even on the calmest day, the surface of the ocean is never completely smooth. The movement of the earth, the unseen movement of water molecules, and even debris on the wate...read more

How are ocean waves formed? Well you may think they're formed due to gravity, geologic effects such as earthquakes, or different degrees of wind blowing on the surface of the water. Ocean waves are formed because of ...read more

Most of us will have spent some time on a beach mesmerized by ripples gently lapping at our toes, or perhaps we have been awestruck by huge waves crashing against cliffs and sea defenses. Where does the ocean get such ener...read more

a WAVE of any kind is simply the displacement of energy as it passes though Resistance of any form, Our oceans waves are caused by several different factors one of which is the gravitational pull of the moon as it ci...read more
