What is a long large wave caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun?
A long large wave caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun is called a tidal wave or a tidal surge. These waves occur due to the gravitational forces of the celestial bodies acting on the Earth's oceans, causing the water levels to rise and fall in a regular pattern.
What is the term for a water wave that creates an underwater earthquake?
When an underwater earthquake displacing a large volume of sea water the effect could be a tsunami (tidal wave).
What wave energy causes matter in the medium to move up and down or back an forth at right angles to the wave?
Transverse waves cause matter in the medium to move up and down or back and forth at right angles to the direction of the wave's propagation. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves in the ocean.
What are huge circles of moving water called caused by wind belts and the coriolis effect called?
wave pools
What are tsumamis?
A tsumami is a large amount of water arranged into a wave. It is triggered when a large earthquake displaces a large amount of water and sends it hurling towards land. As the deep water wave gets close to land it picks up speed and gains height.
Water from a wave rushing up the beach?
a tide or a large surf wave
What is the definition for billow?
It is a large swell, or wave of water.
A wave moving in water that is deeper than half its wavelength is called what?
A deep-water wave.
Is a water wave called wind wave?
Yes your exactly right
What is the speed at which a wave travels through water or other medium called?
The speed at which a wave travels through water or another medium is called the wave speed. It is determined by the properties of the medium, such as its density and elasticity.
What is the froth of the wave called?
The froth of the wave is called foam. It is created when air is mixed with water as the wave breaks, forming bubbles and causing the water to appear white and bubbly.
What is a large wave caused by an earth quake called?
if you are talking about water it is called a tsunami that could knock you into a brick wall or a wall that could make you either die or get unconsious
What makes a large wave?
A large wave is typically caused by strong winds, seismic activity under the ocean, or underwater landslides. When these factors occur, they displace a large volume of water, leading to the formation of a large wave that can travel long distances.
What is the highest point of the transfer wave called?
The highest point of a transfer wave is called the crest. It is the peak of the wave where the water is at its highest level.
What is the high spot of a wave called?
The high spot of a wave is called the crest. It is the highest point of the wave above the resting position of the water.
Do tsunamis occur due to the moon?
No, the moon does not cause tsunamis. The so called 'tidal wave' is not related to the tides at all. A tsunami is an ocean wave caused by an earthquake under the ocean floor. The large movement of the plates creates a huge water displacement that results in the creation of a very large wave.
What is the vertical movement of the surface of water called?
On a large scale you would call the movement a tide. On a small scale you would call the movement a wave.
