How do sound waves differ from water waves?
they differ because waves are sound waves and water waves are waves in the water.
How does sound travel over water?
Sound waves travel through water in the same manner they do through air. The waves in which produced by the source will take form as the particles of water vibrate in a rhythmic pattern which yield to the specific sounds.
Is water waves a electromagnetic wave?
No, water waves are mechanical waves.
How are water waves different from electromagnetic waves?
electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum while water waves travel in water.
Are light waves and water waves examples of transverse waves?
Yes (but not sound in water)
Does sound waves travel faster in water and liquids?
I assume you mean: Does sound waves travels faster in water opposed to air. Yes, yes it does, because sound waves travels by pushing a molecule into another molecule and so forth. The difference between water and air is simply, that the molecules are closer in water, in that way the molecule doesn't have to travel so long before passing on the momentum. That's why the sound can travel both faster and longer in water, whales among others benefit from this, as it enables them to communicate over long distances.

they differ because waves are sound waves and water waves are waves in the water.
What electromagnetic waves have a wavelength shorter that a single water molecule?
Your comparison attempt is confusing. Water molecules don't have 'waves' by themselves. The ocean has waves, H2O does not. We use the behavior of ocean and sound waves to determine the behavior and makeup of light waves. Humans can only see a portion of the existing electromagnetic spectrum. X-rays and Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths. Radio waves have the longest.
How can waves transport energy without trasporting matter from place to another?
When the waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases, matter is not carried along with the waves. The energy is then passed from molecule to molecule as the wave spreads out.
Are sound waves or gamma waves sources of radiation?
yes as they travel from one molecule to another.

Sound waves travel through water in the same manner they do through air. The waves in which produced by the source will take form as the particles of water vibrate in a rhythmic pattern which yield to the specific sounds.
Are longitudinal waves water waves?
Yes, water waves are a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motions.
How are water waves different from electromagnetic waves?
electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum while water waves travel in water.
What is the chemical configuration of the water water molecule?
configuration of water molecule
What do waves move through?
Different types of waves move in different patterns. Ocean waves move in a circular pattern while sound waves move in a sinusoidal pattern.
