Question

1. the smallest wind - generated waves are called:

○ tsunamis.
○ rogue waves.
○ swells.
○ capillary waves.
○ puddles.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Tsunamis are seismic - generated, not wind - generated.
• Rogue waves are large, unexpected ocean waves, not the smallest wind - generated.
• Swells are long - period waves that have moved out of their generation area, not the smallest wind - generated.
• Capillary waves are the smallest wind - generated waves, formed by light wind on water.
• Puddles are small water accumulations, not a type of wind - generated wave.

Answer:

D. capillary waves
