Answer:

Wind speed

The greater the wind speed, the greater the wave height, the greater the wave energy.

Duration of wind

The longer the duration of the wind, the larger the wave height and thus the greater the wave energy

E.g waves during the monsoon season are more powerful than those generated by a local storm.

Fetch- the distance over which the wind blows over the water body without obstructions e g islands

The larger the fetch the greater the wave height, the greater the energy of the waves.

[tex]___________________________________[/tex]

Amount of wave energy can be determined by wave steepness and wave period.

Amount of wave energy can be determined by wave steepness and wave period.Wave steepness (gradient) = wave height / wave length.

High energy waves have steeper waves and low wave periods.
