1) Explain how waves move matter and energy Normal Waves Waves transport energy. There are Body (P and S) waves or surface (Rayleigh and love) waves. They are various speeds. Medium/matter (rock or ground) moves as waves pass, but there is ZERO NET MOTION 1) Explain how waves move matter and energy Ocean Waves Transport energy through water (medium/matter). Similar to surface Rayleigh waves, move at various speeds. Water moves as waves pass, but net motion is ZERO. Generated by ...
