Question

High-speed winds transfer more energy to the ocean’s surface, creating bigger waves.

Question 10 options:
True
False

Answer 1

Answer: True.

Explanation: Yes, waves get energy from the wind through friction, so you see those waves get bigger each time. The longer the winds blows, the more friction, and energy it's getting, meaning better, and deadly waves. The wind can sometimes cause tsunamis if the its blowing too hard.

Answer 2

I think that would be true. The faster the wind, the longer it blows, or the farther it can blow uninterrupted, the bigger the waves. Therefore, a wave's size depends on wind speed, wind duration, and the area over which the wind is blowing
