What is carried by waves?
Water waves are transverse waves this means that the motion of the particles travels perpendicularly to the direction of the wave travel
When waves travel through water why do the moving water particles continue to return to their starting position?
waves transfer matter, but not energy
How does energy move by means of a wave?
In electromagnetic waves energy is transmitted as electric and magnetic fields. In sound waves energy is transmitted as vibration of air particles. In water waves the energy is transmitted as vibration of water particles.
What is the difference between compression and rarefaction?
compression waves the moving particles move backwards and forward in the same direction as the energy transfer.
What is transferred on a wave?
Many things travel in waves: light, energy, water, and sound.

Is the emission of radiant energy in the form of waves or particles?
It is emitted in waves.
How do icegergs move?
theyre floating in the water. waves of energy vibrate the particles of water as they travel, which causes items floating to move
How do waves get their energy?
by the particles in the sea when they bump togheter they give power to the waves by the particles in the sea when they bump togheter they give power to the waves
What energy travels to earth as what type of waves?
Light as particles and waves travel from the sun to earth as energy.
Do waves carry water?
A water wave will move along; the individual water particles will go back to their original position. A water wave - as well as other waves - is basically a transfer of energy.A water wave will move along; the individual water particles will go back to their original position.

When heat energy is transferred by particles or waves, it is called _____.?
radiant energy
How does solar radiation heat up the earth's surface?
The sun converts hydrogen to light energy. This energy must travel through space, where there are no particles. To go through space, the energy is transferred by electromagnetic waves. When these waves hit the Earth's surface, they are absorbed by the typeof material at the top (rock, soil, water). As the waves are absorbes, they release their energy into the material's particles. This causes the particles to vibrate faster, causeing heat.
