This is What Causes RIPPLES in Water!
This video explains what causes ripples in water. Have you ever stood at the edge of a lake on a hot summer day and stared out across the water? Even if there isn’t a whisper of wind against your face, you will likely still see faint lines and irregularities in the water. The light will reflect off movement at the surface, and small ripples will be seen in patches, sometimes appearing to move in different directions. Imagine picking up a stone and chucking it into the lake, where it lands with a satisfying splash, and an expanding ring of ripples will appear.
These patterns and shapes that we see or create in water bodies are commonly referred to as ripples, but why do they form and what affects how long they last?
