Scientists have discovered that ocean waves may become far more extreme and complex than previously imagined. The new study, published in Nature today, reveals that under specific conditions, where ...

A century of observation and experiment has revealed much about how these waves are generated and propagated Men have always been fascinated, and sometimes awed, by the rhythmic motions of the sea ...

These ripples are waves travelling through the water. Like ocean waves, these ripples are transverse waves because the surface of the water moves up and down, at 90° to the direction that the ...

Swell waves are long-wavelength ocean waves that travel away from their places of origin. They are usually created by windstorms or other weather systems. Sea waves otherwise are usually generated ...

While still a nascent market, wave energy is finally becoming a viable source of renewable power. With increased investment, new technology could change the way we harness the ocean’s potential Wave ...

But what causes waves? Well, kinetic energy from the wind moves air across the sea. The air drags along the surface, piling water up into ripples and waves. The stronger the wind, the bigger the wave.
