When a fluid element is displaced on an interface or internally to a region with a different density, gravity tries to restore it toward equilibrium resulting in an oscillation about the equilibrium state or wave orbit.[1] Gravity waves on an air–sea interface are called surface gravity waves or surface waves while internal gravity waves are called internal waves. Wind-generated waves on the water surface are examples of gravity waves, and tsunamis and ocean tides are others
