The oceans waves are not themselves the energy, but they are caused by energy passing through the water. This energy causes the water to move in a circular motion, which pushes waves up to the top and pushes them forward.

∙ 11y agoAll waves carry energy but not all transfer of energy is by waves.
For example electomagnetic energy which includes lasers, microwaves, visible light which energizes photovoltaic cells, and infrared which carries thermal radiant energy.
Thermal energy can be transferred by conduction or convection, as well as radiation.
Electrical energy however is essentially movement of electrons. If it is DC there are no waves by with AC current, there ware waves.

∙ 15y agoWaves transfer energy as particles in the wave push or pull particles next to them. But the partcles are not carried along. The push/pull is what moves; like a row of standing dominoes. Push the first one and watch the "disturbance" move ,but each dominoe doesn't go very far.

∙ 11y agoWater reacts to energy dependent upon the type of energy passing through it. Each energy source has its' own characteristics of frequency, temperature, amplitude, etc... Additionally, the waters' characteristics determine its' response to an energy stimuli. e.g. Warmer water conducts electricity more readily than colder water.

∙ 12y agoWaves, in a medium, don't bounce off each other. But they can cause a crash of the medium, so to speak. All waves experience some level of interference as the energy of the waves passes through the medium. The amount of cancellation, or interference, each wave experiences depends upon how their peeks and troughs meet, and therefore negate/cancel the other's energy. A crash in the medium can occur when both's troughs or peeks meet to cancel.

Do waves carry water?
A water wave will move along; the individual water particles will go back to their original position. A water wave - as well as other waves - is basically a transfer of energy.A water wave will move along; the individual water particles will go back to their original position.

How does a sound wave travel?
Sound waves travel by the movement of particles in a medium; the source of the wave provides energy in a radiating direction, and this energy causes motion of the particles in an outward direction. At some point, those particles strike others, transferring the energy into them in a direction also away from the source. Those particles travel as well, and strike more particles, in a repeated fashion throughout the medium. At each point, the total energy moving directly away from the source is lessened, and the amount of energy moving at other directions, even back towards the source, is increased until a balance is achieved with energy moving in all directions evenly. At this point, the wave has ceased existing. In a solid medium, sound waves may be transverse; the particles move at right angles to the direction of propagation of the wave. The particles at the source are displaced from their equilibrium point, and this action results in the displacement of particles attached to the initial ones. This then causes displacement further along, again in a repeated fashion, causing gradual displacement along the entirety of the object. As the energy is transferred along, the particles also return to equilibrium. This results in the movement of energy from one area of the object to the others, but with the particles moving transversally instead of longitudinally. Sound waves that travel in this way can be seen in the strings of Guitars, violins and similar instruments; the reeds of wind instruments; the sound created by striking a beam or pipe.
Does solid particles have lots of energy?
Relative to liquids and gasses, they have the least amount of energy. In terms of the actual particles themselves, the amount of energy they possess depends on their structure and composition along with the temperature.
What processes transfer heat energy along the wire?
Those processes that involve particle friction.
What do particles carry that bumps into particles ahead of them and become compressed momentarily?
You are referring to 'compressing waves' which carry energy along the wave, which causes this momentarily compression, the opposite of this is rarefaction, where the particles spread out.

How does water pass along energy?
Near the ocean surface, there are water particles moving in circular motion as the wave passes. As they all move, they bumb into the next particle making energy pass along.HOPE THIS HELPED ALL OF YOU...
Why doesnt the energy from a producer all transfer to the secondary consumer?
Not all the energy from a producer transfer to a secondary consumer because some of this energy is lost along the way.
In a longitudinal wave the energy of the wave moves?
The energy is not made of particles in the conventional sense. Particles of matter vibrate backwards and forwards along the direction of motion when a longitudinal wave travels. The particles possess kinetic energy.
Does particles in the medium do not actually travel with the wave?
They don't. The energy of the wave is transmitted from one particle (or group of particles) to another. The energy of the wave moves along, the individual particles return to their resting position.
Is energy made of the same particles as matter?
Energy has absolutely no volume or mass. However, energy and matter can be interchanged, and highly energetic particles behave as if they have more mass. When antimatter and matter collide, they annihilate, releasing their equivalent in energy. The "particles" of which energy can be said to be composed are "photons" which are discreet, massless packets of energy. The so-called "solar wind" is not energy, but consists of high-energy particles emitted by the Sun along with its radiated energy.

Small particles of dirt, sand, or silt, which can be dissolved or swept along in the water.
