Red text indicates wave generation mechanisms and blue text indicates damping/restoring forces. The majority of Ocean waves are wind generated. Other wave generating mechanisms include earthquakes and planetary forces. Planetary forces drive tides and cause long 2004, 2005 A. H.

Earthquakes are the major cause of tsunamis which, while rare, can be catastrophic if the earthquake occurs near or on the coast. waves also encounter forces that tend to restore them to a flat surface.
