well. Energy resources which obtain energy from plant and animal material such as fossil fuels; coal‚ gas‚ oil‚ biomass and food get their energy through this process. Due to the uneven heating of the earth’s surface by the sun‚ the cooler air mass is the cooler air mass is forced under the warmer air which rises; this is air flowing from high pressure to low pressure and since wind is simply air in motion wind is produced. Waves however are produced due to wind blowing over the ocean’s surface
