How Waves are Made
- Waves are mainly a product of the wind.
- Low pressure systems are responsible for creating good and strong waves.
- The friction created by strong winds helps to form energy waves that will travel thousands of miles until hitting final obstacles, which means, coastal areas where we live.
- In deep low pressure systems, wind speed is greater and more waves are generated by the power of the gusts.
- If winds created in low pressure systems keep blowing the surface of the ocean for a long time, swells will be bigger because energy is accumulated in all waves produced.

Hi Karl,
I like the picture you have included in your blog entry. It has good definitions of the terms related to waves. There is energy all around us, even in waves!
Love Mama
