Across
- 7. a type of wave that travels in the direction of the medium
- 10. occurs because water waves contain components of both longitudinal and transverse waves, leading to circular motion
- 11. a natural climate phenomenon marked by warmer-than-average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean near the equator
- 12. The highest surface part of a wave
- 14. the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon
- 16. motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave's advance.
- 17. The lowest part
Down
- 1. the movement of water from one location to another.
- 2. the state of the atmosphere, including temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind, humidity, precipitation, and cloud cover
- 3. a large system of rotating ocean currents.
- 4. the periodic cooling of ocean surface temperatures in the central and east-central equatorial Pacific.
- 5. the general weather over a long period
- 6. circulating air is deflected toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the left in the Southern Hemisphere
- 8. distance from one wave to another
- 9. a storm with a violent wind, in particular a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean.
- 13. The time it takes for two successive crests (one wavelength) to pass a specified point
- 15. the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time.
