Which best describes the way water particles are moved by waves?

The water particles are moved in a circular motion by the waves, with the particles moving up and down as the wave passes.

Particles of water are carried from the deep ocean to the shore.
Particles of water are pushed from the surface to the ocean floor.

The movement of water particles by waves can be best described as circular motion. As a wave passes through the water, it creates a disturbance that causes the particles to move in an orbital pattern. This orbital motion can be seen as the particles moving up and down, or back and forth, in a circular or nearly circular path.
