Question

Which explanation best describes the development of a wave? friction between the moving air and the underlying water imparts energy, which causes the water to move horizontally great distances. the air mixes with the water to produce a wave. friction between the moving air and the underlying water imparts energy, which causes the water to move in a circular motion, but the energy moves great distances. wind blows water along in one direction, thereby causing it to move great distances?

Answer 1

Answer: The development of a wave is the friction between the moving air and the underlying water imparts energy, which causes the water to move in a circular motion, but the energy moves great distances.

Explanation:

Wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium.

Waves are created by the energy passing through water. The development of a wave is the friction between the moving air and the underlying water imparts energy. Wave transmits energy not the water.

A circular motion occurs that causes the particle to move forward and backward when the waves pass through the water. These disturbances or the energies travel a great distances.

Therefore, the development of a wave is the friction between the moving air and the underlying water imparts energy, which causes the water to move in a circular motion, but the energy moves great distances.

Answer 2

  Friction between the moving air and the underlying water imparts energy, which causes the water to move in a circular motion, but the energy moves great distances.     

Hope this helps.
