2. The lowest point of a wave.
3. The original resting position of a wave or particle.
5. The area in a longitudinal wave where the particles are pressed together.
7. When charged particles interact with magnetic fields around planets or objects containing metal, this causes the charged particles to oscillate.
8. The number of times a wave cycles through in one second.
12. The distance between the equilibrium and crest or trough.
14. Particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the movement of the wave.
15. The highest point of a wave.

1. Particles of the medium move in the same direction as the movement of the wave.
4. A measure of the distance between adjacent peaks of a wave or one wave cycle.
6. A wave produced by mechanical movement or a vibrating object.
9. A substance or material that carries the wave.
10. The area in a longitudinal wave where the particles are spread apart.
11. A transport of energy from one location to another.
13. Particles moving back and forth in a regular, repeating motion/pattern.
