High power transmitters.

Shortwave frequencies also reflect off the ionosphere causing their signals to be able to be picked up several thousand miles away at night (when the ionosphere is most stable), therefore some shortwave transmitters a licenced to operate at very high power (megawatt range) at night to take advantage of this effect.

Extremely Low Frequencies (ELF) can travel worldwide as the waves follow the surface of the earth, but require enormous transmitting antennas (many miles in area). They have few practical uses, however the military considered it as a way of signaling nuclear missile submarines that they have permission to launch their missiles.

How does distance affect distribution?

Distance can impact the distribution of species by creating barriers that limit the movement of organisms, leading to isolation and potential genetic differentiation. Greater distances can also result in different environmental conditions, which can affect the ability of species to survive and reproduce in a particular area. Overall, greater distances often lead to greater differences in species composition and abundance between locations.

WHAT frequency sounds are detectable at longer ranges in seawater?

Low frequency sounds (20-1,000 Hz) can travel long distances in seawater due to their ability to penetrate further and experience less attenuation compared to higher frequency sounds. This makes them detectable over greater distances in the ocean.

What are long wavelengths?

Long wavelengths refer to electromagnetic waves that have a low frequency and low energy. These waves have a greater distance between their peaks, such as radio waves and microwaves. They are typically used for communication and have the ability to travel long distances.
