• It is in the opposite direction of the wave motion.

  
  

• It is in a circular motion.

  
  

Which statement is true about surface waves?

• The disturbance is only parallel to the motion of the wave.

  
  

• The disturbance is only perpendicular to the motion of the wave.

  
  

• The disturbance is in a circular motion.

  
  

• The disturbance does not have a specific motion.
