    Waves are primarily caused by wind blowing over the surface of the sea. Rarely, earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions under the sea can also cause waves, sometimes resulting in a destructive tsunami. In deep water, waves appear to move forward but the water itself only moves in a circular pattern as each wave passes through.

    What causes waves


    Waves are most commonly caused by friction as the wind blows over the surface of the sea. They can also be
    formed by earthquakes, underwater landslides or volcanic eruptions. These events are rare but can lead to a
    tsunami.

    In deep water, waves seem to move forward; but the seawater is not moving with them. Each particle of the
    water moves around in a circular pattern, whenever a wave passes.
