Watercress is from the Cruciferae or mustard family

. Its natural habitat is Europe and Asia Minor where it grows by spring , flat banks, wet meadows and ditches. Watercress, a perennial, grows wild in America and starts to sprout in the spring. The plant is bright green in color and leaves grow from nodules along the main stem. They are roundish oval in shape and the white flowers bloom in early summer and grow on tips of stems in loose clusters. The name nasturtium is derived from the Latin words nasus tortus which means convulsed nose, referring to the smell.

What is a river crest?

When a river floods, its crest is the highest level the floodwaters reach. After the crest, the river level starts going down.


What is crest wave?

A crest wave is the highest point of a wave where the water rises to its maximum height. This is followed by the trough, which is the lowest point between waves. Visualizing a crest wave can help understand the oscillatory motion of waves in bodies of water.


What is a crest of the sea?

A crest of the sea is the highest point of a wave. It is where the wave is breaking and the water is lifted up and pushed forwards by the wind.


When will the high water crest?

The timing of when high water will crest depends on various factors such as rainfall, tides, and river flow rates. It is best to monitor the situation through official sources like the local National Weather Service or emergency management agencies for the most up-to-date information on when the high water is expected to crest.


What is the wave length of the water wave?

in order to find the wavelength, you measure the distance from one crest to the next.


Top of a wave?

The crest of a wave is the topmost point where the wave reaches its maximum height. It is followed by the trough, which is the lowest point of the wave. The crest is a peak of energy moving through the water.

What correctly describes the amplitude of the resulting wave if the crest of two water waves overlap?

The amplitude of the resulting wave is the sum of the amplitudes of the overlapping waves if they are crest on crest, creating constructive interference. If the waves are crest on trough, they will cancel each other out, resulting in a smaller or zero amplitude depending on the difference in amplitudes.
