Respuesta :
The strength of a wind-generated wave depends on "wind speed." Basically, wind-generated wave is greatly dependent on the amount of speed, how strong or weak the wind is, before it can generates the waves. As the wind passes by, over the surface of the water, you can observe small ripples that are forming.
Answer;
Length of fetch area
Wind speed
Explanation;
- Waves form as the energy of the wind is transferred to the surface of water.
- The size of a wind-generated wave depends on factors such as the wind speed, the length of fetch area, the duration of the winds.
- The stronger the winds, the larger the force and, thus, the bigger the wave. The wind must also be constant.
- The fetch is the distance of open water over which the wind blows. The longer the fetch, the larger the waves.
