water travels as a transverse wave (meaning that the water molecules move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the path of the wave. the molecules move up and down while the wave moves in horizontal direction).
Water molecules move in an elliptical orbit as a wave passes through them. As the wave passes, the water molecules return to their original position, with no net movement in the direction of the wave. The energy of the wave is what propagates through the water, not the water itself.
Evaporated molecules of water go up.

They change direction and they might exchange their momentum.
Water particles (molecules) move transversely to the direction of propagation of the wave. That means that as the wave moves out across the water, which is its direction of propagation, the water molecules move up and down (transversely) to create the crests and troughs of the wave.
the cold water moves down.

In a water wave, it is the energy that moves forward, causing the water molecules to oscillate in a circular motion. This energy is transmitted through the water but the water molecules themselves do not travel long distances.

Upward
This describes a mechanical wave, where matter oscillates in the same direction as the wave propagation. An example of this is a water wave as the water moves up and down in the direction of the wave.

Water is the substance that moves by osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a semipermeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.
Evaporated molecules of water go up.

As energy from waves moves through the water, the water itself also moves in a circular motion. This circular motion involves the transfer of energy through the water column, causing a vertical and horizontal movement of water particles in the direction of the wave propagation.
