Question

How a wave is created?

Answer 1

Answer:

Waves are created by energy passing through water, causing it to move in a circular motion.Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest.

Explanation:

The most common waves we see are created by wind. However other waves include those created by gravitational forces (e.g. tidal waves) and those created by underwater disturbances, such as earthquakes (e.g. tsunamis). There are three main factors that affect wave formation: wind velocity, fetch, and duration.
