Respuesta :
Waves are most commonly caused by wind. 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. ... The gravitational pull of the sun and moon on the earth also causes waves.
Answer:
The smallest ocean waves are produced by:
C. Weak winds that blow for short periods of time over small distances
Explanation: For a wave to effectively be produced there need to be large wind, long period of time and a large distance of water. If they are all reduced, then there would be a reduction in the intensity of the wave.
