When any mechanical wave moves through it, the physical medium vibrates around
its equilibrium positiion, but on the average over each complete vibration, it doesn't
move to a different location.
in small circular movement
When a boat moves through water, the energy transfers from the moving boat to the stagnant water. The energy ripples through the water causing the wave-like movements.
Well . . . boats, shallow swimmers and fish, and energy can all do that.
When the wind blows across the water, it changes the water's surface, first into ripples and then into waves.
Sea waves travel as up-and-down vibrations: the water moves up and down (without really moving anywhere) as the energy in the wave travels forward. Waves like this are called transverse waves. That just means the water vibrates at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels. Sound waves work in a completely different way.

energy travels through waves.Waves can be in water, but they can also be on land or in the air.A wave moves energy from one place to another.light,sound and mechanical energy all travel in waves.

Yes, "waves" is a noun. It refers to a disturbance that moves through a medium, often described as the movement of energy through water or air in the form of a wave.

In energy Transfer by waves, the energy moves through the the medium, for example the water, but isn't carrying the water with it. In energy transfer by a moving object the energy is traveling by means of an object. So, energy transfer by waves can be pictured as a person (the energy) swimming through water (the medium) and energy transfer through an object can be pictured as a person (the energy) riding a bicycle (the object) In the first case the energy itself is moving through a medium, where in the second case the energy is using its power to move by use of an object. Hope this helps you understand!
Electromagnetic waves, which includes light. Also, gravitational waves.
