Across
- 2. the lowest point of the wave
- 4. a mechanical wave that can occur along the boundary of any two media, or substances
- 8. a wave that occurs when the particles of a medium are displaced perpendicularly to the direction of the wave
- 9. distance traveled per unit of time
- 10. the highest point of the wave
- 11. the matter through which a wave travels.
- 12. a wave that occurs when the particles of a medium move parallel to the direction of the wave
Down
- 1. occurs when rocks are squeezed by external forces directed toward one another to put stress on the rock, acting to decrease its volume or shorten its dimensions
- 3. the number of cycles a wave completes in a period of time; the number of times something happens in a period of time
- 5. a disturbance caused by a vibration; Waves travel away from the source that makes them.
- 6. an object's mass divided by its volume; a measure of how many particles are packed together into a certain amount of space (related word: dense)
- 7. the distance between one peak and the next on a wave
