The frequency of a sound determines its pitch. Most sounds are composed of many frequencies. The other major component of sound is its amplitude, or its loudness.
Ocean waves: These are created by the wind blowing across the surface of the ocean. Sound waves: These are vibrations that travel through a medium (such as air) and allow us to hear. Light waves: These are electromagnetic waves that allow us to see and come in different wavelengths. Seismic waves: These are waves generated by the movement of tectonic plates during an earthquake. Radio waves: These are used for communication and broadcasting and are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Quaking refers to shaking or trembling, usually in fright or awe. It also has religious connotations because the Quakers are said to quake as part of their worship service.
Tornadoes do not directly contribute to global warming. However, the severe weather patterns that can result from climate change, which is linked to global warming, may increase the frequency and intensity of tornadoes.
All 50 states in the United States have experienced tornadoes. However, the frequency and severity of tornadoes vary by region, with states in the central part of the country known as Tornado Alley experiencing more tornadoes on average.
A transom plate is a horizontal structural member that reinforces the transom, which is the part of a boat's stern where the outboard motor is mounted. It helps distribute the load of the motor and provides additional strength to support the weight and vibrations of the motor.
Musical instruments have some part that vibrates at a regular frequency. This vibrating part makes the air around it vibrate and these vibrations make the sound waves. The part that vibrates is often a string or a reed or a drum-head or in the case of horns, the player's lips. The vibrations are amplified by a column of air or a sounding board or something else that resonates at the frequency produced by the original vibration.
The tympanic membrane, also known as the eardrum, is the part of the ear that converts sound waves into vibrations. When sound waves reach the eardrum, it vibrates and transmits these vibrations to the middle ear.
The term audio frequency is a frequency of sound that a person can hear. It is the part of sound that controls pitch. The pitch of sound is measured by hertz.
The eardrum
The cochlea, a part of the inner ear, contains tiny hair cells that bend and twist in response to sound vibrations. These hair cells convert the mechanical energy of sound waves into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain as sound.

Sound needs air because sound is the traveling of vibrations from one atom to another atom. In the vacuum of space, there are no gas particles or atoms for vibrations to travel through, which means there is no sound. Air has atoms in it (oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen atoms for the most part) that vibrations can travel through so we can hear sound so we do not have to press our ears to every object to hear its sound.
The basal end of the cochlea is typically responsible for processing lower frequency sounds, such as those produced by a bass singer. The hair cells in this region are stimulated by the low-frequency vibrations, sending electrical signals to the brain for processing.

Bees produce sound by vibrating their wings during flight. This buzzing sound is the result of the rapid movement of the wings, which can vary in frequency depending on the bee's activity or behavior.
Shorter wavelengths, higher frequencies makes high pitched sounds. Take a rubber band and cut part of it; hold it between your fingers and stretch it slightly; strum it. You will hear a low sound. Pull it tighter, and strum it. It moves faster, and the sound is higher. Low frequencies sounds low. Thus the slower movement of the rubber band. Higher frequencies are faster. ^v^v^v^v^v^v^v <--High frequency ^-v-^-v-^-v-^-v-^- <-- lower frequency The "frequency" is talking about how frequent, or often, the waves are. The more waves in a space, the faster, and thus, higher the sound will be.
No, the act of listening does not produce vibrations, unless you mean that being exposed to sound causes vibrations in your tympanic membrane. That is a part of the mechanism of hearing. Hearing and listening are two different things.
