Why is the vertical movement of the surface of a body of water called?

The vertical movement of the surface of a body of water is called "tidal fluctuation" or simply "tide". Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and to a lesser extent the sun, resulting in the cyclic rise and fall of the water level.


What is a virtual movement of the surface of the body of water called?

A virtual movement of the surface of a body of water is usually referred to as a wave. Waves occur due to the movement of energy through the water, causing disturbances in the surface.


What drives water evaporation?

Water evaporation is primarily driven by heat energy from the sun. This energy causes water molecules at the surface of a body of water to gain enough kinetic energy to escape into the air as water vapor. Other factors that influence evaporation include temperature, humidity, air movement, and surface area of the water.


What are things that make waves?

Waves can be created by wind blowing over the surface of water, seismic activity such as earthquakes, tides caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, or by the movement of objects in a body of water.


The volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the portion of the object that's above the surface of the water?

This statement is not correct. The weight of the water displaced by a body in it, is equal to the buoyancy force that the body will experience. In the case the body floats on the surface of water, the weight of the water displaced by the body is equal to the weight of the body.
