 A wave that oscillates (or moves) up and down perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion.

• longitudinal wave
• transverse wave
• seismic wave
• stadium wave

Any of various factors that cause a body to change its speed, direction, or shape. It can have both magnitude and direction. (vector arrows)

• force
• kinetic energy
• potential energy
• work

A wave of energy that is generated by an earthquake or other earth vibration and that travels within the earth or along its surface.

• seismic wave
• longitudinal wave
• transverse wave
• Hawaiian wave

A substance that makes possible the transfer of energy from one location to another, especially through waves.

• transverse wave
• longitudinal wave
• force
• medium

The protection, preservation, management, or restoration of natural environments and the ecological communities that inhabit them; the management of human use of natural resources.

• force
• work
• conservation
• deconservation

An animal that has no backbone or spinal column.  Most animals are these.

• invertebrates
• vertebrates
• super smelly
• super slimey

Identical or consistent, as from example to example, place to place, or moment to moment;constant; unvarying; undeviating.

• force
• transverse wave
• longitudinal wave
• uniform

Energy stored as a result of deformation of a stretchable object, such as the stretching of a spring. It’s equal to the work done to stretch the spring, which depends upon the spring constant (strength) as well as the distance stretched.

• gravitational potential energy
• elastic potential energy
• chemical potential energy
• Pittsburgh Penguins potential energy

The transfer of energy from one object to another, especially in order to make the second object move in a certain direction.

• force
• potential energy
• work
• kinetic energy

A wave in which the direction of displacement is the same as the direction of propagation (the way it’s moving), such as a sound wave.

• transverse wave
• seismic wave
• longitudinal wave
