lesson 18 marine science: the dynamic ocean study guide

Explanation:

• Medium: A substance or material through which a wave travels. Remember it as the 'path - way' for waves.
• Waves: Disturbances that transfer energy through a medium. Think of ocean waves moving energy across water.
• Crest: The highest point of a wave. Picture the top - most part of a wave.
• Trough: The lowest point of a wave. Recall it as the bottom part between wave crests.
• Transverse wave: A wave where the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling. Visualize a rope being shaken up - and - down while the wave moves along the rope.
• Orbital wave: A wave in which the particles of the medium move in circular or elliptical paths. Imagine water particles in ocean waves moving in circular motions.
