How might the energy of a water wave created by a canoe differ from a water wave created by a cruise ship?

• The energy in a wave created by a cruise ship would give the wave low amplitude.

• The energy in a wave created by a canoe would give the wave a high amplitude.

• The energy in a wave created by a cruise ship would give the wave a high amplitude.
