@prfa_story: #ad Ocean waves form primarily due to the transfer of energy from wind to the water surface. Here's a breakdown of the process: Wind Energy: When wind blows across the surface of the ocean, it creates friction. This friction transfers energy from the wind to the water, causing ripples. Ripples to Waves: As the wind continues to blow, the ripples grow into larger waves. The size and energy of the waves depend on: Wind Speed: Faster winds generate more energy. Wind Duration: Longer-lasting winds allow waves to grow larger. Fetch: The distance over which the wind blows uninterrupted. A larger fetch allows for bigger waves. Wave Propagation: Once formed, waves can travel great distances across the ocean, even if the wind stops. These are called swell waves. Other Factors: Waves can also be formed or influenced by: Tides: Gravitational forces from the moon and sun can create tidal waves. Underwater Disturbances: Events like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides can generate waves, such as tsunamis. Currents and Obstructions: Interactions with currents, islands, or coastal geography can modify wave patterns. . . . . #ad #waves #geography #tidalwave #ocean #titanic #fypage✨ #foryoupage
