the particles in a surface water move back- and- forth only.
Yes, the particles in a surface water wave move in an elliptical motion, with the force causing them to move back and forth as the wave passes by. This motion is mostly horizontal, with little vertical movement, which results in the characteristic rolling behavior of water waves.
The particles in a solid move back and forth in place.

Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. This leads to a back-and-forth motion of particles. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves such as light and water waves.
The particles in solids move back and forth in place. This is due to the vibrating motion of the particles within a fixed position in a solid structure.
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.
All particles vibrate in some manner.
Particles in a medium, like air or water, move back and forth in a type of wave motion when energy is transmitted through the medium. This movement is essential for the transfer of sound or mechanical waves.

Particles in matter move back and forth due to thermal energy, which causes them to vibrate. This vibration is a result of the kinetic energy of the particles constantly changing direction.
Energy is transferred by water waves when they move across the surface of the water and cause the water particles to oscillate back and forth. This energy transfer can create movement in objects floating on the water's surface, such as boats or buoys, or generate power through wave energy converters.
