Wave and Water Dynamics
Across
- 2. movement of water of different densities.
- 5. the portion of an ocean wave that is displaced above the still-water level.
- 8. a seismic sea wave
- 9. (also known as side-to-side) energy that travels at right angles to the direction of the vibrating particles.
- 13. the overlapping of different wave groups, either in phase or out of phase
- 14. a type of wave where energy is moved along the interface between two fluids of different densities.
- 15. the particles that vibrate "push and pull" in the same direction that the wave is traveling.
Down
- 1. a region where waves break at the seaward margin of the surf zone
- 3. movement of different air masses.
- 4. the process in which a wave has parts of its energy returned seaward by a reflecting surface
- 6. a free ocean wave by which energy put into ocean waves by wind in the sea is transported with little energy loss across great stretches of ocean.
- 7. the horizontal distance between two corresponding points on successive waves, such as from crest to crest.
- 10. the process by which the part of a wave in shallow water is slowed down.
- 11. the part of an ocean wave that is displaced below the still-water level.
- 12. the movement of air across the ocean surface creates ________ waves.
