Wave Energy

3. the time it takes for one complete wave cycle to pass a point
6. waves generated directly by the sea
8. long smooth waves that have traveled a long distance
9. the transfer of energy from a wave to a medium
10. the distance between two crests or two troughs of a wave
12. wave energy device that captures energy from a wave front greater than the physical dimension of the device
15. the number of wave cycles passing a point per second
16. highest point on a wave
17. covers 71% of the earth
18. energy generated by ocean waves
20. device that transforms energy from one form to another

1. wave energy device where a pressure differential is induced within the device as the wave passes driving a fluid pump to create mechanical energy
2. wave energy device where a floating cylinder which is anchored to the seabed with an cable
4. wave energy device that generate wave energy by compressing air
5. capacity of a wave to do work
7. the first small waves created when the wind blows on the sea
11. lowest point on a wave
13. wave energy device where water flows into a reservoir and is released by turbines
14. the distance over which the wind blows in a single direction
18. a traveling disturbance that carries energy from one place to another
19. what energy drives the ocean currents
