Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

How are ocean waves different from sound? Bottom=Ocean waves are different because the waves occur when the water moves back and forth at right angles to the line in which the wave travels. … Water waves shake energy over the surface of the sea while sound waves thump energy through the body of the air.

(hope this helps!!)
