Plate Tectonics CROSS/SEARCH
Across
- 2. unit of measurement for the frequency of a wave
- 5. waves that must travel through a medium
- 8. the distance from the rest position to a crest or to a trough in a transverse wave
- 10. the position that the medium would assume if there was no disturbance
- 11. the point on the medium that exhibits the maximum amount of positive or upward displacement from the rest position
- 14. the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave.
- 15. The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time
- 16. A repeated back-and-forth or up-and-down motion
- 18. place in longitudinal waves where the medium particles are spread out
- 19. place in longitudinal waves where the medium particles are close together
Down
- 1. waves where the medium moves parallel to the direction the waves are traveling
- 3. a solid, liquid, or gas through which a mechanical wave travels
- 4. waves that can travel through empty space
- 6. waves that Occur at the surface between two media
- 7. how far the wave travels in a unit of time
- 8. a measure of how compressed or rarefied the medium becomes in a longitudinal wave
- 9. waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction the waves are traveling
- 12. the ability to do work
- 13. A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place
- 17. the point on the medium that exhibits the maximum amount of negative or downward displacement from the rest position
