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.
A wave is a vibration that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter (solid, liquid or gas). Light and sound both travel in this way. Energy released during an earthquake travels in the form of waves around the Earth. Two types of seismic wave exist, P- and S-waves. They are different in the way that they travel through the Earth. P-waves (P stands for primary) arrive at the detector first. They are longitudinal waves which mean the vibrations are along the same direction as the direction of travel.
