Factors affecting energy transfer Lesson 2.14-2.15

Question 9 options:

Larger waves have extra spaces and areas to trap air, increasing the transfer of the wind's energy to the water.

SMALLER waves have extra spaces and areas to trap air, increasing the transfer of the wind's energy to the water.

Wind moving over a relatively flat water surface has less area to come in contact with the water, and this reduces energy transfer.

Wind moving over a relatively flat water surface has GREATER area to come in contact with the water, and this INCREASES energy transfer.
