Learn More About The Waves Drawing
Waves result from the wind blowing across the surface of an ocean, sea, or lake. These waves, called wind waves, whip up the water, first into ripples.
These ripples can grown to become hundreds of feet (tens of meters) high.
Groups of waves traveling in the same direction are called swells. Unusually large wind-generated waves are known as rogue waves.
Waves can also be caused by earthquakes beneath the seafloor. Very large and destructive waves of this sort are called tidal waves or tsunamis.
This type of wave can also originate with a falling meteorite or on underwater explosion.
