What term describes fragmental volcanic material?
Pyroclastic
Which term describes the point on the earth's surface above the area where an earthquake originates?
The term that describes the point on the Earth's surface above the area where an earthquake originates is it's epicenter.
What term describes the part of the atmosphere that can sustain life?
Exosphere
What term best describes the state of the environment in bulgaria?
havoc
What term describes the disorder of random molecular motion?
Entropy
What term describes the distance between the crest to the trough of a wave?
It is called trough. The highest point is known to be crest. The distance between successive crests is known as wavelength of the wave. This is the most important characteristic of a wave. Same way the distance between any two successive troughs too is the wavelength.
Which term describes the distance between any two crest in a transverse wave or the distance between any two rarefaction's in a longitudinal wave?
wavelength
Which term describes the distance between any two crest in a transverse wave or the distance between any two rarefaction in a longitudinal wave?
wavelength
If the wavelength of light increases the frequency?
As the wavelength increases, frequency decreases. A wavelength is the distance from, say, a crest to a crest, or perhaps a trough to a trough. Frequency is essentially how many waves or how many cycles of a wave there are per unit of time, and we usually apply the term cycles per second or Hertz (which means cycles per second) to it.Wavelength is the physical distance the wave will travel as a single cycle of that wave occurs. And wavelength is a function of both frequency and of the speed of propagation of that wave. In any case, a longer wavelength is associated with a lower frequency. Increasing (lengthening) the wavelength decreases the frequency.
What term describes describes the distance between any two crests in a transverse wave or the distance between any two rarefaction in a longitudinal wave?
That is the wavelength.
Which term describes the distance between any two crests?
If you are referring to the crests of a wave then the distance is called the wavelength ( λ)

Wavelength
Which term describes the distance between any two crests in transverse wave or the distance between any rarefactions in a longitudinal wave?

circle
What term best describes the set of all points in a plane that are a certain distance from a single point?
