Wave energy converters typically take up a few square meters of ocean surface area for installation. The exact amount of space depends on the design and size of the converter being used. However, many wave energy projects are designed to minimize their environmental impact and footprint.

What is a disturbance that carries energy through matter and space?

A disturbance that carries energy through matter and space is known as a wave. Waves can take different forms, such as sound waves, light waves, or seismic waves, and transfer energy by causing particles to move back and forth.


What is the disturbance in matter that carries energy from one place to another?

A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.


How long does it take to build wave energy?

The time it takes to build a wave energy system can vary depending on factors such as the size of the project, location, permitting processes, and technology used. On average, it can take anywhere from a few years to over a decade to plan, develop, and construct a wave energy project.


Does mass and energy take up space?

Mass and energy always have locations in both time and space; the amount of space that they take up depends upon their density, but they do take up some. Since energy is often associated with matter (heat, kinetic energy etc.) it would be the matter that takes up the space. The energy would be in the same space as the matter. But energy can also exist independently of matter (such as a photon of light travelling in space) and in that case, the energy takes up space.


What is the energy of a sound wave most closely related to?

The energy of a sound wave is most closely related to its intensity, which is determined by the amplitude of the wave. A higher amplitude sound wave will have greater energy.

Does matter take up lease space when energy is added to it?

Matter does not take up less space when energy is added to it. This is because energy is not a physical unity and therefore it does not interfere with the occupancy of space by matter.

What a matters?

Anything that has mass and takes up space is matter. Energy is not matter because it does not have mass nor does it take up space. Pretty much everything else is matter.

What is an example of energy moving through an ecosystem?

A wave moving over a reef is a good example. If you can sit on a jetty and take the visual position that the wave ie the water comprising the wave, isn't moving to any great extent, an energy wave is moving through the water away from its source. The energy is causing the water molecules to be pushed closer together in a given horizontal space. The water is limited in where it can move by the sea floor and/or the water pressure at deeper depths, the pressure wave from the direction of source and gravity. The combined effect propogates the wave in a specific direction at a specific speed and height according to Newton's Laws.
