Answer 1

Sunlight  is the main source of energy that causes most waves to form on earth.

Explanation:

The energy from the sun is ultimately the driver of most waves on the earth. The sun rays heat up the atmosphere and oceans deferentially at different latitudes due to the spherical nature of the earth. This creates differences in temperatures, densities, and pressure over areas hence resulting development of waves such as wind-generated ocean waves. The sun causes different pressure systems that feed prevailing winds.  The prevailing winds, at the boundary between the oceans and atmosphere, cause waves due to the force of drag as the winds blow predominantly in one direction.
