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.
“From Up on Poppy Hill” is rated PG (Parental guidance suggested). A few sad and scary moments and period-appropriate tobacco use.
Ocean waves are formed as wind blows across the surface of the ocean, creating small ripples, which eventually become waves with increasing time and distance. When waves reach shallow water, they become unstable and begin to break and can impose large hydrodynamic forces on organisms living in these regions.

Drawing a basic wave
- Sketch in the basic shape of the curl, spray, foam and base of the wave.
- Add an extra line running parallel and below the curl line to define the thickness of the lip.
- Add a flow line starting at the lip and curve it around to suggest roundness of the liquid lip.
- Add the rest of the flow lines.
