A tsunami is actually a series of waves caused by either an earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption, or meteorite impact.
The noramal main cause of a tsunnami is earhtqukes yet however one can ocurr when any amount of force is aplyed on to the sea e.g a iland falling into the sea. The force of the object has to be tranfered thought the water thus providing a massive wave or tsunnami. One of the worst tsunnami recorued was the 2004 Boxing Day Tsuunami which devistated insdoisuier.
The distance from one wave to the next wave is called the wavelength.
No, the distance from the trough of one wave to the trough of another wave is not the wave amplitude. The wave amplitude refers to the maximum displacement of a point on a wave from its equilibrium position.
The distance from one wave crest to the next crest is called the wavelength of the wave.
transverse= rope longitudinal= spring surface= water & air
The speed of a wave is how far the wave travels in one unit of time.
The distance between one crest and the next in a wave is called the wavelength. It is measured from one point on a wave to the corresponding point on the next wave.
1) Crest of one wave meets the crest of other wave OR Trough of one wave meets the trough of other wave.
A wave with a frequency of one wave per second is referred to as 1 hertz (Hz). This means that the wave completes one full cycle in one second. Examples include 1 Hz sound wave or a light wave with a frequency of 1 Hz.
The period of a wave is defined as the time taken by a wave to complete one oscillation. While, the frequency of a wave is defined as the number of oscillations completed by a wave in one second.
The distance between one point of a wave to the same point on the next wave is called the wavelength.
False. Constructive interference occurs when the crest of one wave meets up with the crest of a second wave, or when the trough of one wave meets up with the trough of a second wave. This results in a wave with greater amplitude.
