ProfessorAn ocean wave is a disturbance on the surface of the ocean caused by energy transfer from wind. As the wind blows across the ocean, it creates ripples that develop into waves. The energy from the wind is transferred to the water, causing it to move in a circular motion, creating the characteristic rolling motion of waves.

Why is a ocean wave classified as a surface wave?
An ocean wave is classified as a surface wave because it travels along the interface between two mediums - air and water. The motion of the water particles decreases with depth, showing that the wave energy is confined to the water's surface. This distinguishes it from internal waves, which propagate beneath the water's surface.
