Why does an ocean bouy bob up and down as a wave passes by?
Buoys float on the water. Waves are water moving. The moving water moves the floating buoy.
How can an ocean move?
the ocean moves by the moon, if you get what i mean? because the earth is on an orbit and the moon controls the waves that's why the ocean moves
What type of ocean wave moves the fastest?
Indian Ocean waves.
In traverse waves each particle of the medium moves in a circle?
Not necessarily.
What moves in waves?
The particles of the medium move up and down as the wave passes. The crests and troughs of the waves move with the wave.
Do ocean waves travel in longitudinal waves?
No, they are transverse a water particle moves perpendicular to the motion of the wave (water particles move up and down where are the wave moves left or right)
Do the energy in waves move particles up and down?
convection-moves heat particles around in a circle
How many earthquakes happen in water?
The plates under the ocean moves which causes the water to have shock waves.
What are three ways the water moves?
The three ways the ocean moves in are currents, tides, and waves. I figured this out while I was doing homework. Maybe it does help you learn. :)
Why do waves move toward the shore but the leaf floating on the surface of the water does not?
The wave travels through the water without moving the water with it (the water moves but then as the wave passes the water moves back to where it was). The floating leaf stays with the water as the wave passes on its way to the shore.
Which waves are in the ocean?
Ocean waves created by energy in the water are the waves that can be found in the ocean.
What are some mechanical wave examples?
Mechanical waves are waves that need a medium to go through. Some examples are ocean waves, seismic waves, and sound waves. Also when a slinky moves back and forth or at right angles it is like a wave.
