water‚ through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules. The stronger the winds‚ the stronger the waves. Water waves usually do not go horizontally‚ they only move up and down. Some factors that also cause waves are tsunamis‚ earthquakes‚ and hurricanes. Surprisingly‚ wind speeds‚ the distance over which the winds blow‚ and the time that the winds are in contact with the water all determine the height and speed of the wave. Waves can travel thousands of miles from their source of
