Ocean waves are NOT mediums of any sort.
Primary waves
waves with alot of ocean tides
For example, water waves, sound, light.
Indian Ocean waves.
For example, water waves, sound, light.
Mechanical energy
Ocean waves are mechanical waves. The waves on the surface are surface waves (particles move in a circular motion) while the waves in the depths are longitudinal (particles move parallel to the wave propogation).
Primary waves
Rayleigh waves which are a type of seismic surface wave.
A wave. You make sound waves when you speak, the ocean has waves on its surface and you can have waves in your hair.
Sound waves aren't an electromagnetic wave. So aren't seismic waves. So aren't waves in the ocean, in your hair, or waves bye-bye.
