Well . . . boats, shallow swimmers and fish, and energy can all do that.

What moves forward in a water wave?
Energy moves forward in a wave.
What moves instead of the water in the wave?
The energy in the wave .
What type wave matter moves at right angles to the direction of the wave?
Water moves up and down as the wave moves horizontally. The website below has examples of transverse waves.
Is the wave transport water molecules from the source of vibration?
Water does not travel along with the wave. As the wave moves over the water, each little piece of water moves up and down and forward and back, but after the wave has moved on the water is in the same place. That is a common feature of wave motion. The energy is passed along the wave but the medium itself does not move with the wave.
Water that moves up the beach in a wave flows back out to sea due to?
Water that moves up the beach in a wave flows back out to sea due to gravityThats easy!

Why is an ocean wave classified as a surface wave?
The energy moves, not the water

Why doesn't a duck move when a wave passes under it?
That's because the water doesn't move, either. The water moves back and forth slightly, as a result of the wave; the wave energy moves on, WITHOUT taking the water with it. The wave is not a current.

Why do waves move toward the shore but the leaf floating on the surface of the water does not?
The wave travels through the water without moving the water with it (the water moves but then as the wave passes the water moves back to where it was). The floating leaf stays with the water as the wave passes on its way to the shore.
How both a wave's energy and the water in a wave move?
Ocean water within a wave moves in a circular motion in open water. As the wave approaches the shore, the water becomes shallow and the bottom.
What is the amplitude of water wave?
the amplitude of a water wave is the maximum distance a water particle moves above or below the surface level of calm water.
What moves forward in a wave while particles in the wave remain in the same place?
Energy. Each particle of water moves around in a circle. Energy moves forward while water particles remain in the same place.
Do ocean waves travel in longitudinal waves?
No, they are transverse a water particle moves perpendicular to the motion of the wave (water particles move up and down where are the wave moves left or right)
