Question

Which of the following statements about surface waves is true?

The strength and duration of the wind controls size and frequency.

The longer the wind blows in the same direction, the weaker the waves become.

Friction between the wind and surface water decreases the size of the wave.

Surface waves are caused by rushing water underneath the surface.

I would say A. Swells are caused by rushing water underneath the surface, waves are caused when swells break, often due to wind resistance.
