A boat at rest on the ocean moves up and down as water waves pass beneath it. What can be concluded about the movement of the water particles within a water wave? A) Water particles move vertically, up and down in circles. B) Water particles move horizontally with the wave energy. C) Water particles move in the same direction as the wave energy. D) Water particles move horizontally while wave energy moves in circles.
the answer is A) Water particles move vertically, up and down in circles. while the wave itself might make the boat move a certain direction, the particles that make up the wave are only moving up and down.
