Bureau of Labor Statistics data show that the bottom 10 percent of atmospheric scientists earned less than $47,950 a year and the top 10 percent made more than $136,120 a year. The middle 50 percent of workers in terms of annual income made between $66,860 and $110,270.he Bureau of Labor Statistics says that Maryland was the highest paying state for atmospheric scientists who made an average of $112,470, as of May 2011.
Q: The highest point of a transverse wave is called the _______, while the lowest point of a traverse wave is called the _______. A: The highest point of a transverse wave is called the CREST, while the lowest point of a traverse wave is called the TROUGH. Log in to see more information.
Acompression is a point on a medium through which a longitudinal wave is traveling that has the maximum density. A region where the coils are spread apart, thus maximizing the distance between coils, is known as a rarefaction. A rarefaction is a point on a medium through which a longitudinal wave is traveling that has the minimum density. Points A, C and E on the diagram above represent compressions and points B, D, and F represent rarefactions. While a transverse wave has an alternating pattern of crests and troughs, a longitudinal wave has an alternating pattern of compressions and rarefactions.
