Underwater volcanic activity
Underwater landslides
All of the above
In the open ocean, tsunami waves can travel as fast as:
A car on a city street
A commercial jet
Someone riding a bicycle down a hill
A tortoise
Frequency in Hertz (Hz) times wavelength (in meters) is the formula for:
Amplitude
Reflection of light
Wave speed
Diffraction of waves
When a wave changes direction & speed as it moves from one medium to another (example: a beam of light traveling from air into water), this is called:
Refraction
Diffraction
Interference
Reflection
When waves that overlap combine, forming a new wave. The waves then travel in opposite directions as they move through each other. These are called:
Diffraction waves
Rarefaction waves
Electromagnetic waves
Interference waves
