Question

(100 PTS NEED HELP ASAP)

Water waves are surface waves. The energy of the waves moves...

only perpendicular to the motion of the wave
only parallel to the motion of the wave
both parallel and perpendicular to the wave

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Waves are actually energy passing through the water, causing it to move in a circular motion. ... This phenomenon is a result of the wave's orbital motion being disturbed by the seafloor.

The direction a wave propagates is perpendicular to the direction it oscillates for transverse waves. A wave does not move mass in the direction of propagation; it transfers energy.
