Why does a cork flaoting on water only bob up and down instead of changing location as a water moves past?

If the water is flowing, like in a river or stream, then the cork goes with the flow.
But if it's in a pond, and ripples are rippling out and getting bigger but the cork
is just bobbing up and down, then you have learned something very important
about transverse waves: The material in transverse waves, like the water in
the ripples, or the ground in a seismic surface wave, or the wave in the rope
when you snap one end, just moves back and forth across the line of the
wave's progress. But although energy is carried along, the material stays
where it is and just bobs across the line.
