Description
5x7 Watercolor and OIl Pastel of the rolls of a wave.
Ocean waves are formed as wind blows across the surface of the ocean, creating small ripples, which eventually become waves with increasing time and distance. Their size is a function of both the strength of the wind and the uninterrupted length of open water that the winds blow. The size is dictated by the size of the storm in the open ocean or the length of an enclosed body of water. Waves that are generated by local winds are often termed sea, whereas waves that were generated elsewhere are termed swells. When waves reach shallow water, they become unstable and begin to break and can impose large hydrodynamic forces on the organisms around them .
