No,

The water essentially returns to it's previous place as the wave passes by, in more or less a circular motion.

Here is a discussion about waves.

Waves transport what over great distances?

Waves transport energy over great distances. This energy can generate movement in water, such as in ocean waves, or transfer information in electromagnetic waves, like radio or light waves.


What do waves transport over distances?

Waves can transport energy and information over long distances. This can include sound waves carrying vibrations through the air or water waves transporting energy across the surface of a body of water.


How is sound produce in liquid?

vibrations caused by the sound waves travel thru the water making the water vibrate causing sound. that is why you cant hear someone talk under water at great distances. the water is denser than the sound waves


Does energy travel through water?

Yes, energy can travel through water in the form of waves, such as sound waves or electromagnetic waves. These waves can propagate through water and carry energy over long distances.


Why do we need the Ionosphere?

The Ionosphere helps "bounce" radio waves across great distances.


Do particles of water in ocean waves travel long distances to get to shore?

of course


What is the relationship between wind and waves?

Winds generate waves by transferring their energy to the water's surface. The strength, duration, and direction of the wind determine the size and shape of the waves. Waves can travel great distances from where they were generated, making wind a key factor in shaping oceanic conditions.


What do waves transport over great distances out of solids gases liquids and energy?

Waves primarily transport energy over great distances from one place to another, through solids, liquids, and gases. The energy carried by waves can vary depending on the type of wave, such as light waves carrying electromagnetic energy or seismic waves carrying energy from earthquakes.


What is the main characteristic of sound?

Sound waves travel at great distances in a very short time. But as the distance increases the waves tend to spread out.


What is a water wave?

dispersion of water waves generally refers to frequency dispersion, which means that waves of different wavelengths travel at different phase speeds. Water waves, in this context, are waves propagating on the water surface, and forced by gravity and surface tension.


Can a whale talk?

No. If a whale could talk that would be as weird as my sister. _______________________________________________________________________ Whales have been known to communicate great distances under water. Scientists are still trying to decipher what the sounds they make represent. _______________________________________________________________________ No. Whales can't talk in human language but can talk or communicate communicate great distances under water through high frequency sound waves just like dolphins.


Where do most destructive waves originate?

Most destructive waves, such as tsunamis, originate from underwater seismic activity, like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. When these events displace a large volume of water, it sets off a series of powerful waves that can travel great distances across the ocean.
