Well, as the waves move it moves the rope as if its trying to take shape of it. Since the rope it light it will move along the ocean and the ocean will keep pushing up on the rope. (even without the waves the water is pushing the rope up so it can take its shape)
Maybe that'll help
Explanation:
you measure temperature in degrees celsius using a thermometer. Thermal energy is measured in joules. A larger volume of water will take longer to heat up but will store more energy than the smaller object. However, a smaller object will lose it's heat faster than a larger object. A cup of tea has less thermal energy than a swimming pool.
