Why does the ocean have waves even when it’s calm?
In: Planetary Science
Waves in the ocean can be caused by a variety of factors such as wind, tides, and even earthquakes. Even when the surface appears calm, there may still be underlying currents or movements that create small ripples and waves. Additionally, waves can travel long distances from their point of origin, so even if there are no current sources of disturbance nearby, waves can still be present.
