What is the primary cause of waves on earth?

2 Answers

What is the primary cause of waves on earth? Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest.
