Water waves are a mix of longitudinal and transverse waves. Particles of water actually travel in circles. If the particles move in clockwise circles, for example, then the wave propagates to the right.
To understand water waves, it's important to understand that water is not compressable. Sound waves are longitudinal waves where particles move back and forth and create areas of temporarily increased and decreased density and pressure. That is not possible with water waves, since the density can't significantly increase. Water also can't move as a transverse wave alone. If the height of the water increased without moving back and forth, the water would have to stretch vertically.
Instead, when water particles move toward each other to the crest of a wave, they also pile up and increase the height of the water.
Consider a wave propagating to the right. The particles move at their maximum rightward speed at the crest of the wave, so they catch up slightly with other particles still on the face of the wave. The height of water increases to the right. Then the crest passes the particle, and it begins to slow down because it tends to slide down the back of the wave. About halfway down the back of the wave, it has completed the first quarter of its circular path. It slows to a stop and starts moving left. At the trough of the wave, it is moving at its maximum leftward speed and has completed the right half of a circle. It is moving away from particles to its right, so the water height to its right decreases. Then the particle is caught by the face of the next wave. The face of the wave accelerates it to the right and slows its leftward motion until it stops about halfway up the face of the wave. Then it accelerates to the right until it reaches its maximum speed again at the crest of the next wave.
Particles under the surface of the water move too, motivated by variations in pressure. They move in similar circles to the surface particles, but smaller circles deeper in the water.

What 2 thiings does the water cycle transport?
The water cycle transport two things:1. water2. vaporsThese are regulated in atmosphere.
What two things does the water cycle transport?
The water cycle transports water and energy. Water moves through various states—evaporation, condensation, and precipitation—across different environments, while energy from the sun drives these processes, facilitating the continuous movement of water throughout the cycle.
What is the point in cellular respiration where pyruvic acid breaks down to oxygen and water to produce energy?
This is the Krebs Cycle and the Electron Transport Chain. More specifically the Krebs Cycle.
How many water molecules produce in Krebs cycle?
Water molecules are not directly produced in the Krebs cycle. However, water is a byproduct of the overall process of cellular respiration, which includes the Krebs cycle along with glycolysis and the electron transport chain.

Is water an end product of fermentation the Krebs cycle or the electron transport chain?
Water is a byproduct of the electron transport chain during cellular respiration. It is formed when oxygen combines with electrons and hydrogen ions to produce water molecules.
How can building a drainage system affect the water cycle?
When someone builds a drainage system it effects the water cycle is a couple different ways. It can make water transport to new places and humans could pollute the water system even more.

Where does nadh and fadh go after it leaves the Krebs cycle?
NADH and FADH₂ produced in the Krebs cycle go on to the electron transport chain (ETC) in the mitochondria. They deliver their electrons to the ETC, where the energy is used to create a proton gradient used to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
