The less dense region of a compression wave is called?
The less dense areas created as a sound wave propagates are called rarefactions.
What low areas created as a sound wave propagates are called rarefaction's?
density.
What wave is a wave of energy produced at the focus of an earthquake?
A seismic wave. If the earthquake occurs under water, the seismic waves can produce waves in the water called tsunami.
What might be one cause of uneven heating in a microwave oven?
The waves in an oven are actual waves. They are a special type of wave called a standing wave. Stings on an instrument, like a guitar, are also standing waves. The areas where wave displaces the most has the most energy. There are also places where the wave doesn't move at all; these areas have the least energy. The food will almost always be longer than the wavelength of the standing wave. This means there are areas of the food that are getting a lot of energy and areas that are getting almost none. If you heat a chocolate bar up in a microwave for about 20-30 seconds you will be able to see melted spots, this where the wave is at it's maximum amplitude, these are called the nodes of the wave.

What are the areas of a sound wave where the molecules in the medium are packed closer together?
Type your answer here... this is called a compression, and when they are spread apart it is called a rarefaction
What is it called when a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave combine?
it is called a seismic wave
Is the white top of a wave?
The crest.
Why is Canada called land of lillies?
Because some areas have a lot of marshland were many lilies grow.Canada had lots of room to grow lilies. People from Europe noticed all the nice lilies so called it the land of the lilies, and then crushed them all under a huge wave of urbanization.
What were generally poor areas where vanquished Indians were eventually confined under federal control?
Those areas were called reservations.
What are the stretched areas of a longitudinal wave?
rarefaction
What is the bottom of a wave and a top of a wave called?
The highest point of a wave is called a crest and the lowest point is called a trough.
