Ocean waves are caused by

density

thermal energy

the wind

the moon

the wind

Explanation:

Ocean waves are most commonly caused by winds. They stir up surface waves on the ocean.

When wind blows across the surface of the ocean, they stir up the ocean surface.

The air molecules collides with the water molecules setting up a disturbance. This disturbance produces the energetic and breaking ocean waves we see.

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
