While it may appear that waves consist of water moving
linearly, in reality each water particle simply travels in a
circle. The water transmits energy without being carried along.
This is why small free-floating objects on the surface just bob
up and down in waves. Even in huge waves, a piece of driftwood
doesn't get broken, just shaken around a lot.
