Question

in which direction does wave energy travel in the ocean?
○ up and down
○ north and south
○ with the currents
○ toward the shore

Explanation:

Ocean wave energy propagates horizontally, and in most coastal contexts, it moves toward the shore as waves approach land. The other options are incorrect: water particles move up/down (not energy), direction isn't fixed to north/south, and waves are distinct from ocean currents.

Answer:

toward the shore
