A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through
matter or empty space.
Sound waves move through the air, earthquakes send
powerful waves through solid earth, spacecraft radio
waves travel across millions of miles through the
vacuum of empty space, and ocean waves move through
water.
All of these types of waves are able to transfer energy
over great distances.
The size of a wave and the distance it travels depends
on the amount of energy that the wave carries The most familiar waves occur on the ocean's surface.
It is upon these waves that surfers play and boogie
boarders ride.
These waves are mostly created by the wind. There are
three factors wind that determine the size of the wave:
1) the speed of the wind, 2) the distance over which
the wind has blown, and 3) the length of time that
the wind has blown.
The greater each of these factors, the bigger the wave Waves can be measured by their amplitude, a distance
measured vertically from the crest (the top of the
wave) to the trough (the bottom of the wave).
They can also be measured by their wavelength,
which is the horizontal distance between crests.
