In water, a wave results from induced motion through gravity, tides, wind, current, or tectonics. The most familiar form of this wave is caused by the motion of moving water into shallower areas, as the upper flow moves forward while the lower flow goes more slowly, and possibly in the opposite direction.

The low point of a sound wave where the lowest air pressure occurs?
Trough
Is erosion occurs when the rocks breaks down?
Yes, erosion occurs when something like a rock and a wave break it down over time.
What occurs when the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another wave?
If a pulse "interferes" with another pulse, they build each other up to form supercrests or supertroughs. This process is known as constructive interference.
What is it called when a selsmic wave bounces backward when it reaches a boundary?
Reflection occurs when seismic wave bounces backward as it reaches a boundary. It refers to the change in direction of a wave front at an interface between two different media.
What is wave deposition?
Water vapour depostion is water vapour transforming directly to ice without condensing first.
What actors and actresses appeared in Refractions - 2009?
The cast of Refractions - 2009 includes: Jonathan Turcotte as Dancer
Rarefaction occurs only in?
Rarefaction only occurs in a longitudinal wave. Rarefaction is the reduction of the density of a medium. It is the opposite of compression.
Is nuclear energy produced by atomatic refractions?
Not that I know of. I'm not even sure what the word refractions would mean in this context.
What is a wave that occurs at the surface betwene to mediums?
transverse wave
What occurs when a wave is reflected?
The wave can flip upside down
Does wave interference occurs for all types of waves?
Yes, wave interference occurs for all types of waves.
What actors and actresses appeared in Refractions - 2013?
The cast of Refractions - 2013 includes: Savanna Dew Peter Pascucci Katie Shane
Reflection occurs when a wave does what?
It occurs when a wave which is incident on a surface changes direction.
Almost as soon as the depolarization wave begins a repolarization wave follows it across the membrane this occurs as?
This occurs as K+ diffuses out of the cell.
When does reflection occurs?
When a wave hits an object with properties of not absorbing or diffusing the wave.
How often a wave occurs is the waves?
You really shouldn't be looking for the answer of a test or homework on the computer. But the answer is How often a wave occurs is the waves frequency.
A wave that occurs at the boundary between two media when transverse waves combine?
A standing wave occurs when two transverse waves combine.
