Question

Why do waves have the ability to travel?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Waves are created by energy passing through water, causing it to move in a circular motion. However, water does not actually travel in waves. Waves transmit energy, not water, across the ocean and if not obstructed by anything, they have the potential to travel across an entire ocean basin.

Answer 2

Answer:

All waves can be thought of as a disturbance that transfers energy. Some waves (water waves and sound waves) are formed through the vibration of particles. Waves form because water molecules are disturbed, and sound waves are formed by the disturbance of air particles or particles in an object through which sound is travelling, like a door.
