Direction of wave motion Wavelength Still water Crest Trough level Crest pogdo 1/2 wave- length depth Orbital motion extends to a depth of about half of the wavelength. 3 b The orbital movement of water does not resemble interlocking mechanical gears. Instead, the water in the water column moves 3 in a coordinated, uniform circular movement as the waves pass. In this example, as the wave crest passes 3. this location, water molecules are in positions marked 1 at all depths. As the crest passes, all molecules move to position 2, then 3, and so forth.
