Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between
wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or
a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest. These types of
waves are found globally across the open ocean and along the coast.

More potentially hazardous waves can be caused by severe weather, like a


hurricane. The strong winds and pressure from this type of severe storm
causes storm surge, a series of long waves that are created far from shore
in deeper water and intensify as they move closer to land. Other hazardous
waves can be caused by underwater disturbances that displace large
amounts of water quickly such as earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic
eruptions.
a. What are waves? What is a crest?

b. Define Tsunami. How does it occur?
