The energy that produces ocean waves comes from

OpenStudy (anonymous):

heat

OpenStudy (ajanijones):

Its wind.

OpenStudy (ajanijones):

Heat is wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and groud shaking and its not wind

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The movement of waves are produced by the way the current is moving

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup its wind :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not wind

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

It is indeed wind

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wind are not strong when the ground shakes it creates big waves

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the major fact is wind cause without wind how would there be waves in the ocean..so wind is the energy that produces ocean waves

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no is not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

search it up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The wind is barely strong enough to push the water in a kiddie pool so how can it push that much water

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and I agree with jaxsonh22

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you @fastrunner5000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its the rise and fall of the tides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The rise and fall of the tides is from the moon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and I agree with jaxsonh22 again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anyone think I'm wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its from the moon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea that's what I said

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The rise and fall of the tides are the work of where the moon is

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

I completely agree with your last statement @JaxsonH22 The rise and fall of tides is INDEED caused by the moon....but tides are just that... The energy that causes waves...is caused by kinetic energy and the wind... As wind goes along the water, the friction causes ripples. Wind pushes against the ripples in a snowball effect that eventually creates a large wave. So really the whole reaction is a transfer of energy from the sun to the wind to the waves.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is a very nice response

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Because remember tides are just the rising...and lowering of the sea level...hense high tide, is when the water is higher and reaches higher on a beach....and low tide is when it relaxes and goes back to "not normal" but what it was originally

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah i knew what high and low tide were i just didnt ever thing of the snowball effect

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Indeed ^^
