Il y a différents types de vagues à la surface de l'océan. Les marées en font partie mais les vagues les plus fréquentes et les plus nombreuses sont celles créées par le vent - les vagues de vent ou «vagues forcées». 6, record 1, French, - vague%20de%20vent
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 CONT
Dans certains secteurs des océans que l'on appelle les «mers du vent», les vents mettent en mouvement les eaux océaniques superficielles par frottement à la surface de l'océan. Ainsi se créent des mouvements ondulatoires qui agitent la surface de la mer, les vagues (vagues forcées). Celles-ci se propagent ensuite d'elles-mêmes et acquièrent une grande régularité : c'est la houle (vague libre). 7, record 1, French, - vague%20de%20vent
