Question

Which of these actions is the BEST evidence that waves can cause objects to move?


A.) speed boat races in circles around the lake, B)A teenager swims to shore after an ocean swim.

C)A surfer rides back to the beach on his surfboard. D) A dog fetches a ball tossed in a lake and brings it back to the dock.

Answer 1

The answer is C: A surfer rides back to the beach on his surf board.

All the others are examples of people doing stuff to the water, C is an example of the water moving something, in this case the water is moving a surfer and his surf board.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C) A surfer rides back to the beach on his surfboard.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the best answer because the other choices involve people moving things or moving themselves in a lake or the ocean. So if we want evidence that waves can cause objects to move, the wave must be the active part. Option C is correct because the surfer is passive. He or she is riding the surfboard but the waves are moving him or her.
