Sound waves are like ocean waves because it resembles an ocean wave with crests (peak) and troughs (valleys). The crests indicate regions of high pressure and the troughs, low pressure.

What are three ways that sound waves interact?
The three ways that sound waves interact are: reflection, diffraction, refraction.
Can sound travel in ways other than sound waves?
No
In what ways are sound waves and electromagnetic waves different?
They travel at different speeds.
What three ways can differ electromagnetic waves from sound waves?
Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature where as sound waves are longitudinal. Electromagnetic waves can pass even through vacuum but sound waves are mechanical waves that means it needs badly a material medium Sound waves can be sensed by ear where as electromagnetic waves are sensed by eyes.
What two ways are light and sound different?
sound waves are faster in water than in land, light waves are faster in land
What are the ways of reducing sound wave transmission?
ultraveling waves
What rhymes with soundwave?
Sound waves ,found ways ,got way ,
What are two ways coastal areas undergo erosion?
Ocean waves and wind
In which three ways are dissolved salts deposited into the ocean?
rivers rain waves
What are the objects that produce sound?
there are many weird and wonderful ways to produce sound by simply vibrating air waves.
What are some ways to write echoes in a comptle sentence?
Echoes means the repetition of a sound caused by the refection of sound and waves.
How are sound waves and water waves?
Two main ways. First water waves are essentially two dimensional, i.e. on the surface of water, and sound waves are three dimensional - they (generally) spread out in all directions from the source of the sound. Second water waves are up and down undulations in the water, and are therefore at right angles to the direction of motion (transverse waves). Sound waves are compressions and rarefactions in the same direction as the direction of motion (longitudinal waves).
