Answer:

There are three factors wind that determine the size of the wave: 1) the speed of the wind, 2) the distance over which the wind has blown, and 3) the length of time that the wind has blown. The greater each of these factors, the bigger the wave.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the wind is one determing factor of how large the wave will be because if the wind is higher, then (depending on where it's facing) it CAN make the waves higher if it is going in the same direction. And same does 2) and 3) also matter, the length also matters because then for that time, there will be large waves, and for 2), the distance also matters, because if you are in a place (on the shore) where there was high wind towards you for some time, then after some time, you will see large waves, but if you are not, then you will see normal waves.
