3) SURFACE WAVE- a wave that travels along a surface<br />

separating two media.<br />

• Ocean waves<br />

• Combination of transverse and longitudinal causes a bobber<br />

on the surface to move in a circle in deep water<br />

• When ocean waves enter shore they topple over themselves<br />

because friction with the shore slows down the bottom of the<br />

wave.<br />
