the sun and gravity are the two biggest movers of water. waves are created when wind moves across the surface of water. Tsunamis are waves created by earthquakes.

How does water molecules move when wave passes?
When a wave passes through water, the water molecules themselves do not move horizontally with the wave. Instead, they move in a circular orbital motion as the wave passes, causing the up and down motion we see on the surface. The energy of the wave is what propagates through the water, not the actual water molecules moving in the direction of the wave.
Parts of water that don't move along with a wave?
Water does not move with a wave believe it or not. It moves up and down with the wave but a wave is just energy moving through something.
How is the motion of particles in a sound wave different from a water wave?
In a sound wave, particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels, while in a water wave, particles move in a circular motion.
The particles in a water wave move?
Circularly in a vertical plane as the wave passes. The particles in a water wave move up and down as the wave passes through them, while the overall direction of the wave travels horizontally.
In water waves water particles move in?
Water particles (molecules) move transversely to the direction of propagation of the wave. That means that as the wave moves out across the water, which is its direction of propagation, the water molecules move up and down (transversely) to create the crests and troughs of the wave.
Is a sea wave transverse or longitudinal?
A sea wave is a form of transverse wave because the particles in the water move perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling. This causes the water to move up and down as the wave passes through.
When a wave is on the surface of the ocean what direction do the molecules move in?
In an ocean wave, the water molecules move in a circular motion. As the wave passes through, water molecules move in an elliptical path, with no net forward movement. The energy of the wave is what is being transferred, not the water molecules themselves.
How do the particles of the surface of the water move when a wave passes by?
As a wave passes by, the particles on the surface of the water move in a circular motion. The particles move in the direction that the wave is traveling causing the water to rise and fall in response to the wave passing by. This circular motion is crucial for transferring energy across the surface of the water.
Why doesn't a duck move when a wave passes under it?
That's because the water doesn't move, either. The water moves back and forth slightly, as a result of the wave; the wave energy moves on, WITHOUT taking the water with it. The wave is not a current.
Water parts that do not move forward with a wave?
its the particles in the water
How both a wave's energy and the water in a wave move?
Ocean water within a wave moves in a circular motion in open water. As the wave approaches the shore, the water becomes shallow and the bottom.
Why there is no net movement of water in wave motion?
In wave motion, the water particles move in circular orbits, transferring energy rather than overall displacement. This means that while individual water particles move in a wave, there is no net movement of water in the direction of the wave's propagation.
