Question
look at the diagram below. which factor does not influence the size of a wave as it moves across the ocean?
the strength of the wind
the density of the ocean water
the breeze duration (how long the wind blows)
the distance the wind blows across the surface
Ocean wave size is primarily driven by wind-related factors: wind strength, how long the wind blows (duration), and the distance the wind travels over water (fetch). Ocean water density does not directly influence the size of surface waves as they form and move across the ocean.
