Wave oscillation occurs in the open sea in deep water, wave energy moves forward, not the water itself.
Wave of translations begins to form in shallower water when the water depth is about 1/2 of the wavelength (from crest(top) of wave 1 to crest of wave 2) and the wave begins to "feel bottom."

What is the difference between a wave and a particle?
A wave is a a moving oscillation that transfers energy through a medium. A particle is an object.
Is oscillation a wave?
NO,oscillation is not necessarily a wave because energy is not transported in oscillation.In oscillation there is no space periodicity.An oscillation is periodic in time only where as a wave is periodic in time and space both.
When a wave breaks it changes from being a wave of oscillation to being a wave of?
Nature
What is light an oscillation of?
Light is an electromagnetic wave, that is, an oscillation of both the electric and the magnetic fields.
What do you call the measurements of a wave's magnitude of oscillation?
Amplitude

What is an oscillation that travels from one place to another?
A wave
What is the Lowest part of oscillation of a transverse wave?
Trough.
What is the term for oscillation of water particle in the ocean?
Wave.
What do you call the measurements of a wave's magnitude of oscillation?
Amplitude
Is a rope wave a longitudinal wave?
No, rope wave is a transverse wave, because the direction of oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of movement of wave.
What is an oscillation that travels?
By definition, all oscillators move over a repeatable range. This could be circular, as in the orbit of the moon, or up and down between two limits, such as a wave of sound and electromagnetic systems. Oscillation is usually inferred to be a smooth activity, though I could say I oscillate between work and home.
What is the wave height of wave of oscillation?
maximum and or minimum peak of any signal measured on an oscilloscope
The maximum height of a wave is what?
Amplitude, which is defined as the maximum displacement of a wave from it's centre of oscillation.
