Energy waves are caused by the vibration or disturbance of energy sources, such as sound waves resulting from vibrating objects or electromagnetic waves produced by accelerating electric charges. These waves carry energy through space by transferring the vibration or disturbance from one particle to another.
When a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate, it creates sound waves. Sound waves are mechanical waves that travel through a medium by causing the particles of the medium to vibrate and transfer energy in the form of sound.
Mechanical Waves
Waves get their energy from a source that causes disturbances or vibrations. This source could be wind, seismic activity, or the movement of objects in water. The energy is transferred through the medium in which the waves are traveling, leading to the propagation of waves.
Waves transfer energy in the form of mechanical energy, which causes particles in the medium (such as water or air) to move and oscillate. This movement of particles carries the energy of the wave through the medium.
In transverse waves, the energy travels perpendicular to the direction in which the wave itself is moving. This causes the particles in the medium to move in a direction that is different from the direction of energy propagation. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves.
That varies, depending on what causes the sound waves.

It warms the atmosphere which causes convection and wind. The wind blowing across the surface of water causes waves.

The loss of wave energy when it encounters a surface and causes the waves to become weaker is known as wave reflection. This can happen when waves bounce off a barrier or shoreline, leading to reduced energy and amplitude in the reflected waves.
