Waves Earth and Space
Across
- 2. paws small waves that are also called capillary
- 5. rounded waves that have left the area that generated them
- 10. speed of the wind
- 11. sorts waves by period and wavelength
- 16. current parallel to the shore
- 17. groups of similar waves traveling together
- 19. speed of a wave with a period of 10 seconds and a length of 40 meters
- 20. breakers that form tubes
- 22. distance between two successive wave crests
- 24. interference resulting in increased wave height
- 27. narrow, strong, seaward current perpendicular to the shore
- 28. distance the wind blows across the water
- 29. no waves, flat sea surface
Down
- 1. waves of different heights and wavelengths and directions
- 2. highest point on a wave
- 3. seismic sea wave
- 4. vertical distance between crest and trough
- 6. a disturbance that travels through a medium
- 7. breakers on gradual slopes
- 8. focuses wave energy on headlands
- 9. addition or subtraction of waves
- 12. shape traced by a water particle as a wave passes
- 13. structures used to reduce longshore or beach drift
- 14. direction that persistent winds are arranged
- 15. time required to move a distance equal to one wave length
- 18. lowest point on a wave
- 21. place where high waves are the most common
- 23. what a wave needs to travel through
- 25. water level between the crest and the trough
- 26. U.S. navy ship
