In water waves, does the disturbance consist of fluctuations in the density of water?
Thanks

No, the disturbance in water waves does not consist of fluctuations in the density of water. Water waves are waves in the surface of a body of water, characterized by rises and falls in the surface of the water that propagate across the surface. The disturbance in water waves is caused by the rise and fall of the surface, resulting in wave energy traveling across the surface of the water. The wave energy is not actually associated with fluctuations in the density of the water.
