Question

What is the term for the disturbed water left behind as a boat moves through the water?

Answer 1

Wake

Step-by-step explanation:

As a boat moves through a water body (sea, river or ocean), the propeller causes the water to be separated as the boat moves. This separated water forms a new pattern based on the disturbance conferred by the boat. The disturbed water forms a visible huge flow of water sideways and backwards (based on the speed, size and weight of the boat). This disturbed water is referred to as the wake of the boat.

Answer 2

The term for the disturbed water left behind as a boat moves through the water is wake.
When a boat glides through any type of water, it will sort of separate the water behind it for a few seconds, after which the water will return to normal once again. I've attached the image so that you can see clearly what I'm talking about.
