Most of the waves present on the ocean’s surface are wind-generated waves. Size and type of wind-generated waves are controlled by: Wind velocity, Wind duration, Fetch, and Original state of sea surface. Wave types Wave in the Ocean
Tsunami Tsunamis consist of a series of long-period waves characterized by very long wave length(up to 100 km)and high speed (up to 760 km/hr)in the deep ocean Because of their large wave length, tsunamis are shallow-waterto intermediate-water waves as they travel across the ocean basin They only become DANGEROUS. when reaching coastal areas where wave height can reach 10 m Tsunamis originate from earthquakes, volcanic explosions, or submarine landslides
