TeachMeFinance.com - explain Pressure Induced Wave Pressure Induced Wave The term 'Pressure Induced Wave' as it applies to the area of the weather can be defined as ' A rare type of wave that does not develop from wind or seismic activity. Instead, these waves develop as a pressure perturbation moves over the water surface. The water surface adjusts to account for the atmospheric pressure change. As atmospheric pressure decreases, the force exerted upward by the water increases, creating a pressure induced wave. '.
