Does a wave power station use renewable energy?
Yes, wave power is renewable.
How does wave refraction affect erosion?
by eroding.
Does wave power contribute to global warming?
Building the machinery will contribute some, but the actual wave power usage will not.
How does an underwater structure affect a wave?
It just sits there and gets grinded to pieces slowing the wave down

What is factors can affect the height of a wind formed wave?
the speed of the wind,the length of time that the wind blows, and the fetch
What is a fetch wave?
The Fetch of a wave is the distance over open water over which the wind has blown (further it has travelled, the larger the wave.)
What is the fetch of a wave?
The lenght of time a wave has traveled or in more intelligent words The Fetch of a wave is the distance over open water over which the wind has blown (further it has travelled, the larger the wave.)
What determines how strong an earthquake will be?
1. Wind strength and duration 2. Fetch of the wave
Is georgio armani gay?
Fetch, often called the fetch length, is a term for the length of water over which a given wind has blown. It is used in geography and meteorology and is usually associated with coastal erosion. It plays a large part in longshore drift as well. Fetch length along with the wind speed (or strength) determines the size of waves produced. The longer the fetch length and the faster the wind speed, the larger and stronger the wave will be. For example, the winds which travel from the East Coast of the United States and hit the west coast of Ireland would have an extremely large fetch and would produce very large waves if the wind speed was also high. The fetch length determines the power and energy of the wave. Additionally, if the winds are blowing in the same direction during the wave's lifetime, the wave will in turn be stronger. If a fetch is very large, then the wave will be very large and vice versa. The fetch is related to the orbit of the wave. The longer the wind drags along the sea the more energy the wave will have which will make the wave a destructive wave.
Distance that wave producing winds blow over continuous body of water?
fetch
What are the factors affecting of coastal recession?
The factors that affect coastal recession are: wind, rock structure, vegetation, weathering, fetch, destructive wave, steepness of the beach and soft or hard rock.
Why do big waves happen?
I Belen e they get taller because as the front of the wave hits the shore, it loses energy and slows down, while the back of the wave still has more speed and momentum. The back of the wave catches up with the front, compressing a wide wave into a tall wave. As the wave gets taller while decelerating, naturally the top of the wave falls foreword.
Does wave length affect wave speed?
No....
Is wave power efficient?
wave power is efficient.
What does a wave power machine do?
A wave power machine is a generator that is powered by wave power. This is a piece of equipment that converts wave variances in a body of water and converts this into electric power.
Does a tide affect a wave?
no
