When an object such a a stone is dropped into water, it disturbs the surface of the water. Waves form at the surface of the water and travel outward from the point of the disturbance.
The diagram below is based on a single frame from a video of the waves that formed when a stone was dropped into water.

The water waves (or ripples) formed on the surface of water in pond are also transverse waves because in a water wave, the molecules of water move up and down in the vertical direction when the wave travels in horizontal direction along the water surface. Since the water molecules vibrate up and down at the same place, therefore, a cork or leaf placed on the surface of the water moves up and down at the same place as water moves across the surface of the pond. The shape of the transverse water waves produced on the surface of water is just like those formed on a slinky.
