What term describes the waves that a vessel leaves behind as it moves through the water?

  1. Draft

  2. Keel

  3. Wake

  4. Beam

The correct answer is: Wake

The term that describes the waves that a vessel leaves behind as it moves through the water is called the "wake." This term specifically refers to the disturbed water left behind a moving vessel. The other options, such as "draft" and "beam," refer to different parts of the vessel and are not related to the waves produced. And while the "keel" is a part of the vessel that helps with stability and steering, it does not describe the waves produced by the vessel. Therefore, the correct answer is "wake."
