Question

What is the relationship between wind and ocean waves?

Answer 1

Answer;

D.) Wind moving at higher speeds will transfer more energy to the water, resulting in stronger waves.

Explanation;

• Wind is the major cause of surface water waves or ocean waves. Energy from the wind travels in waves across the ocean as the water particles hit one another and transfer the wind energy along.
• Motion of water particles in the ocean is circular as the wind wave passes through. The circular motion decreases in size with depth as the transfer of wind energy decreases with distance from the surface.
• Wind moving at higher speeds will transfer more energy to the water, resulting in stronger waves, as compared to a slow moving wind.

Answer 2

The Correct Answer Is D: Wind moving at higher speeds will transfer more energy to the water, resulting in stronger waves.
