This describes a mechanical wave, where matter oscillates in the same direction as the wave propagation. An example of this is a water wave as the water moves up and down in the direction of the wave.
As energy from waves moves through the water, the water itself also moves in a circular motion. This circular motion involves the transfer of energy through the water column, causing a vertical and horizontal movement of water particles in the direction of the wave propagation.
Gravity and the slope of the land combine to create the force that moves water in a stream. Gravity pulls the water downhill, and the slope of the land determines the direction and speed of the flow.
Water moves downhill on a slope due to gravity, creating a force that pulls it in that direction. The slope provides a pathway for the water to flow, with the steeper the slope, the faster the water moves. Additionally, the surface tension of water allows it to cling together and form streams or rivulets as it flows downhill.
When a wave moves through water, the water particles move in a circular motion within the wave. As the wave passes, the water particles oscillate up and down, transferring energy but not water along with the wave's direction.

Peristalsis moves food in one direction.

Water moves out of the cells into the hypertonic solution, causing the cells to shrink and become dehydrated.
It is called turbulence.
Water particles (molecules) move transversely to the direction of propagation of the wave. That means that as the wave moves out across the water, which is its direction of propagation, the water molecules move up and down (transversely) to create the crests and troughs of the wave.
