The term "forward" is arbitrary. The waves propagate away from the energy source that created them or away from a reflective surface. In mechanical waves (such as ocean waves), the waves move through the medium (water), but the particles in the medium do not travel along with the waves, although they do oscillate in place as the wave passes through the medium.

The crests and troughs of the waves move with the wave.

What moves forward in a water wave?
Energy moves forward in a wave.
What part of a wave moves forward?
the upper part of the wave moves faster
What type wave matter moves at right angles to the direction of the wave?
Water moves up and down as the wave moves horizontally. The website below has examples of transverse waves.
What is a wave normal?
A wave that represents the direction in the direction the wave moves.
What moves instead of the water in the wave?
The energy in the wave .
What kind of wave moves in the same direction matter moves?
Such a wave is called a longitudinal wave.
What moves forward in a water wave?
Energy moves forward in a wave.
What part of a wave moves forward?
the upper part of the wave moves faster
What moves forward in waves?
The energy of a wave moves forward with the wave. A wave is moving energy, and the wave carries it in the direction of propagation.
What type wave matter moves at right angles to the direction of the wave?
Water moves up and down as the wave moves horizontally. The website below has examples of transverse waves.
What is the fastest seismic wave that moves back and forth?
The fastest seismic wave that also moves back and forth is the P-wave.
What is wave in which matter moves in the same direction as the wave?
Compression wave
What is a wave normal?
A wave that represents the direction in the direction the wave moves.
What moves instead of the water in the wave?
The energy in the wave .
Does matter in the medium moves perpendicular to a transverse wave?
A wave where the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave is called a transverse wave. Its highest point is called the crest.
Is an electromagnetic a compresinal wave?
No, an electromagnetic wave is NOT a compressional wave. An electromagnetic wave is best described as a transverse wave. Remember that in a compressional wave, the energy moves parallel to the medium of the wave, while in a transverse wave, the energy moves perpendicular to the medium.
What is a sesmic wave?
a sesmic wave is a wave that moves perpendicular through the earth
