Types of waves
Ocean Waves are an example of this type of Wave
What is a Orbital Wave?
This is the lowest part of the wave.
What is a trough?
The Speed of a wave if
Speed = 20 meters Wavelength/ 10 seconds period
What is 2 meters per second?
This is a wave that is caused by geologic movement and earthquakes under water.
What is a tsunami?
Biotic such as bivalves, crustaceans, See oats and salt grasses are usually found in this Coastal zone.
What is the pioneer zone?
A type of wave where the Motion of the energy is Perpendicular to the movement of the wave itself.
What is a transverse wave?
This is the highest part of a wave
What is the Crest?
This is the frequency of if
Frequency= 125 meters per second speed/
15 meters wavelength
What is 8.333333 seconds Frequency?
When two wave come together and form a larger wave it is considered this.
What is a rogue wave
The demarcation line between a natural forest and the edge of a Coastal Biome is marked by this zone.
What is the Forest Zone.
A type of wave where the movement of the energy is parallel to the motion of the wave
What is a longitudinal wave?
The distance of open water that wind blows to form a wave.
What is the Fetch?
The Speed of a wave if
Speed = 5 meters Wavelength/ 357 seconds period
What is .014 meters per second
Wave are constantly adding and subtracting from land forms in which they have contact. This movement of material is known as
What is Erosion
Home to many insect and small land animals along with plants such as lantana, sea grapes, sea lavender is known as this
What is the scrub zone
With this type of wave a medium is unnecessary for the transfer of energy, like with a electromagnetic wave.
What is a Transverse wave?
This is the time it takes for a wave to move one complete Wavelength.
What is a period?
This is the frequency of if
Frequency= 5000 meters per second speed/
7 meters wavelength
What is a Frequency of 714.28 seconds
Large amount of erosion occurs seasonally from wave generated by storms which are also know as these three terms
What are hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones
If you were to walk toward the beach and pass live oaks , palmetto trees and ax myrtles you would know you were in this zone.
What is the Forest Zone
Sound waves are these type of waves.
What is longitudinal
Per second, this is the number of waves that pass a fixed point.
What is the Frequency?
The Speed of a wave if
Speed = 1275 meters Wavelength/
25 seconds period
what is 51 meters per second
The repair of erosion that are enacted by city planners are commonly known as this.
What is Beach re-nourishment or Beach Replenishment?
Most animal biotics, such as plankton, crabs, whelks and periwinkles have developed strategies and advantages to live in the shore break area of the beach.
