How does water move as waves pass? How does water move as waves pass? Water moves in a circle in the same direction as wave movement. Water moves linearly in the same direction as wave movement. Water moves in a circle in the direction opposite to wave movement. Water moves linearly in the opposite direction to wave movement.

Option (1)

Explanation:

Waves are usually defined as a type of disturbance that are carries energy during the time of propagation, and the waves formed in the water bodies such as lakes and seas occur in the form of circular motion.

When a wave passes through the medium of water, then the surface water, forming a vertical column of water mass, moves in an orbital motion, where the water moves in the direction of wave propagation.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
