Wavelength
Amplitude
Trough
Lowest point of a wave
The trough of the wave
What is the opposite of the crest of the wave?
It is the distance between two crests, and is a factor in wave size
The vertical distance between a crest and a trough is the height of the wave
It is also called amplitude
The horizontal distance between two crests
The horizontal distance between two crests is the wavelength
The vertical distance between a crest and a trough
Its a measure of wave size

The vertical distance between a crest and a trough is the height of the wave. Sent 4: Wave height is also called amplitude
Lowest is Crest and Highest is Trough
Wavelength
The vertical distance between the highest point of the wave and the lowest point of the wave is the height of the wave, which is also called its amplitude
The highest point of a wave is the crest
Trough and Crest
How are the lowest and highest points of a wave related to its amplitude?

How many times is wind mentioned?
Hurricanes don't cause much damage
Storm that forms over the ocean
A hurricane is a storm that forms over the ocean. Sent 11: Its winds may blow more than 150 miles per hour!
They form over oceans and produce some of the biggest waves
Winds may blow more than 150 miles per hour
He horizontal distance between two crests is the wavelength
Hurricanes form over the land
What is said about hurricanes in the paragraph?
Lowest is Crest and Highest is Trough
Wavelength
Amplitude and wavelength
Crest and trough
Lowest is Trough and Highest is Crest
The highest point is a crest, and the lowest point is a trough
Trough and Crest
What are the highest and lowest points of a wave?
How fast, over how great a distance, and how long the wind blows
Winds cannot travel over long distance
Winds may last for many days
How long the wind blows determines the wave size. They can blow 150+ mph
Winds cannot last more than a hour
Winds travel over long distances
Winds may blow more than 150 miles per hour! Sent 12: The winds also travel over long distances and may last for many days
What do we know about wind from the paragraph?
Wavelength
Amplitude
The distance is the height of the wave, also called the amplitude
Height of the wave
Wave height
Frequency
What is the vertical distance between a crest and a trough?
Vertical distance between a crest and a trough
The horizontal distance between two troughs
The vertical distance between a crest and a trough is the height of the wave
Both amplitude and wavelength are measures of wave size
While swimming
The horizontal distance between two crests
The vertical distance between the highest point and the lowest point of the wave
How do you calculate the height of a wave?
Less than 100 miles per hour
A storm that forms over the ocean
More than 150 miles per hour
The winds may blow more than 150 miles per hour and travel over long distances, lasting many days
He horizontal distance between two crests is the wavelength
What are a hurricane's winds like?
Lowest is Crest and Highest is Trough
Wavelength
The crest and trough
Amplitude and wavelength
Lowest is Trough and Highest is Crest
Trough and Crest
When concerning wave height, what are the highest and lowest points called?
The horizontal distance between two crests is the wavelength and Wave height is also called amplitude
Both amplitude and wavelength are measures of wave size
Both are same
Amplitude is a vertical distance (the height of the wave). Wavelength measures a horizontal distance (between two crests)
The horizontal distance between two crests is the amplitude and vertical distance between a crest and a trough is called wavelength
Horizontal distance between two troughs is wavelength and vertical distance between a crest and a trough is called amplitude
The vertical distance between a crest and a trough is the height of the wave. and The horizontal distance between two crests is the wavelength
What is the difference between wavelength and amplitude?
Wave height is also called amplitude
Because a faster wind hits ocean directly
The greater the wind, the bigger will be the wave
The size of an ocean wave depends on how fast, over how great a distance, and how long the wind blows
Because the faster wind speed will cause the wave to be larger than a slower wind speed
Because a faster wind lasts longer
It increases the amplitude of the wave
Other factors being equal, why would an ocean wave be larger if the wind were blowing 150 miles per hour than if it the wind were blowing 100 miles per hour?
The highest point of a wave is the crest. The lowest point is the trough. The vertical distance between a crest and a trough is the height of the wave. Wave height is also called amplitude. The horizontal distance between two crests is the wavelength. Both amplitude and wavelength are measures of wave size. The size of an ocean wave depends on how fast, over how great a distance, and how long the wind blows. The greater each of these factors is, the bigger a wave will be. Some of the biggest waves occur with hurricanes. A hurricane is a storm that forms over the ocean. Its winds may blow more than 150 miles per hour! The winds also travel over long distances and may last for many days.
