waves
what is a medium
a medium is a Rhythmic disturbance which carries energy through matter or space.
waves that pass through the ground
seismic waves
what is Diffraction
The bending of a wave as it moves around an obstacle.
what is mass
its a measure of the amount of matter in an object.
what is exploration
the rate of change of velocity.
what is a wave
a Rhythmic disturbance which carries energy through matter or space.
when two tectonic plates slip past each other
earthquake
what is the word for a bouncing back wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass.
it is Reflection
what is volume
its a measure of the size of a body or region in three-dimensional space.
what is velocity
the speed of an object and the direction of its motion.
what is a wave that requires a medium through which to travel
Mechanical Wave
the point directly above where an earthquakes rupture begins
epicenter
what is the bending of a wave as it enters a new medium.
it is Refraction
what is density
A measure of the compactness of a substance, expressed as its mass per unit volume.
what is newtons 1st law
an object at moving at a constant velocity keeps moving at that velocity unless and unbalanced net force acts on it
what is a wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels
it is a Transverse wave
a type of dip slip fault where the hanging wall moves downward towards the footwall
normal fault
what is the law of reflection
it is the angle of incidence that equals the angle of reflection on a flat reflective surface.
what is the scientific method
A series of steps followed to solve problems.
what is newtons 2nd law
(f=ma) the acceleration of an object is the same direction as the net force of all objects is the same direction as the net force on the object
what is a wave where Matter in the medium moves back and forth along the same direction that the wave travels
Compressional Wave
a vertical fracture where two blocks of rocks slip past each other sideways or horizontal
strike slip fault
what is the law of refraction for a less dense going into a more dense
when the light passes from less dense medium into more dense medium it will slow and bend towards the normal
what is earth science
The science that focuses on planet Earth and its place in the universe.
what is newtons 3rd law
When an object exerts a force on a second object, the second one exerts a force on the first that is equal in strength and opposite in direction
