My youngest, since leaving for college last fall, was home for 4 weeks at Christmas, is now home for a 2 week spring break, and will be here a couple of times over the summer, with the longest stretch being about 6 weeks. He went to a friend's house for Thanksgiving.
What are Sneaker Waves? Sneaker waves are unusually large ocean waves that appear suddenly and without warning. Small children should be watched around the ocean to protect them from the sudden dangers associated with sneaker waves.
Longitudinal vs Transverse Wave. A wave is a disturbance which moves away from what created it and changes the thing that it travels on like the surface of the ocean or the air. This is caused by the transfer of energy that disturbs its medium or channel. There are several types of waves, and two of them are longitudinal and transverse waves. A longitudinal wave is a wave wherein the movement of the channel or medium is in the same direction as the wave. This causes particles to move left and right inducing other particles to oscillate or vibrate. The primary wave or P-wave in an earthquake is an example of a longitudinal wave.
