- The wave carrier (air, string, EM-fields etc) do not propagate, but the motion and energy do. Wind does not push all the water to one end of the lake.
- Transverse waves: oscillations perpendicular to the direction of propagation (light, surface waves etc). Longitudinal waves: oscillations parallel to propagation (sound).
- 5 oceanic waves, roughly 5o m from crest to crest, hit the sea shore in a minute. How fast they are moving?

It's not the meat, it is the motion..
