Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ocean waves are primarily created by the interaction of wind with the surface of the ocean, which creates ripples that can grow into larger waves. The shape and strength of the waves are also influenced by the interaction of the waves with the shoreline and seabed. While the Moon's gravity does play a role in creating tides, it is not the main driver of ocean waves. Revolution of the planet and evaporation are not direct drivers of ocean waves.
