Question

Wave energy is caused due to
(a) strong winds blowing across the sea
(b) kinetic energy possessed by huge waves near the sea shore
(c) potential energy possessed by the stored water
(d) both (a) and (b)

Answer 1

Answer:

a is the answer of this question

Answer 2

The correct answer to the given question is option d: both (a) and (b).

• Wave energy makes use of the kinetic energy or heavy flow of waves to generate power or energy.
• This energy is derived from both natural sources, including wind and ocean waves.
• The high flow of water waves across the sea is caused by strong winds.
• Huge waves are also caused by high tides caused by the gravitational pull of celestial bodies.
• This has an effect on the kinetic energy and not the stored energy of waves, which can be used to generate power.
• As a result, both options are correct in this situation.
