A wave moving over a reef is a good example. If you can sit on a jetty and take the visual position that the wave ie the water comprising the wave, isn't moving to any great extent, an energy wave is moving through the water away from its source. The energy is causing the water molecules to be pushed closer together in a given horizontal space. The water is limited in where it can move by the sea floor and/or the water pressure at deeper depths, the pressure wave from the direction of source and gravity. The combined effect propogates the wave in a specific direction at a specific speed and height according to Newton's Laws.

How is movement of matter and energy through an ecosystem different?
An example of the transfer of energy is the food chain. This is different from movement of basic elements in the ecosystem because energy gets used, not just moved.
Is waves moving through the air after a crash example of sound energy?
Yes.
Is a garden hose with moving water an example of mechanical energy?
Yes, a garden hose with moving water is an example of mechanical energy. The flowing water possesses kinetic energy as it moves through the hose, which is a form of mechanical energy due to its motion.
How does the flow of nutrients in an ecosystem differ from the flow of energy in an ecosystem?
Nutrients are cycled within an ecosystem, moving between living organisms and the environment, while energy flows through the ecosystem, entering as sunlight and being lost as heat during metabolic processes. Nutrients are recycled and can be reused, whereas energy is not recycled and must constantly be supplied to sustain the ecosystem.
Why is the flow of energy through an ecosystem considered inefficient?
The transfer of energy and matter in a food chain is only 10% efficient because 90% doesn't get broken down or used while moving through the food chain.
What form of energy is lost by moving from producer to consumer to decomposer in a ecosystem?
heat
Which is example of kinetic energy?
Any moving object has kinetic energy.
Example of chemical energy into kinetic energy?
People Moving
What is an example of kinetice energy?
An example of kinetic energy is a moving car. As the car is in motion, it possesses kinetic energy due to its velocity. The faster the car is moving, the more kinetic energy it has.
What is kinetic energy and what is an example of a kinetic energy?
The energy from any type of movement. Anything from a swinging swing to a Electron moving around the nucleus.
Legs moving the pedals of a bicycle is an example of energy?
Mechanical energy
An example of mechanical energy is?
Energy stored in a moving body, (Bullet)
