Water waves are formed by the force of the wind agianst the water and air goes forward and finally develops a circular motion. This motion causes a pressure to go down on the surface at its front, and pressure going up and this causes the surface to take on the form of a wave.

What kind of wave transfers energy but no matter?
water waves ? Electromagnetic waves are an obvious example. Generally, it is a characteristic of waves that matter is not transferred.
How do sound waves differ from water waves?
they differ because waves are sound waves and water waves are waves in the water.
What is are the only kind of energy waves you can see?
"Visible" light is the only kind of electromagneticenergy waves you can see. But it's notthe only kind of energy wave you can see.You can certainly see ocean waves in the water, seismic waves in the land, standing waveson a guitar string, and traveling waves running up and down a long guy-wire.
What kind of circles are made when a pebble is thrown in water?
A pebble thrown in water creates concentric, expanding circular waves.
What kind of electromagnetic waves does the sun have?
What kind of electromagnetic waves does the sun have?
What kind of waves is water waves?
Transverse wave
Is water some kind of wave like radio waves?
Water is not a wave. Waves on a water surface, on the other hand, do indeed have similarities with other types of waves in physics, including radio waves.

Do insects generate waves when they land on a water surface?
kind of they create a ripple efect
