| WAVE | Disturbance that transfers energy from place to place |
| VIBRATE | Creates waves when energy causes a medium to do this |
| CREST | Highest part of a transverse wave |
| FREQUENCY | Wavelenghth X Frequency |
| WAVELENGTH | Distance between two corresponding parts of a wave |
| LONGITUDINAL WAVE | Moves PARALLEL to direction wave is traveling |
| REFRACTION | BENDING of a wave due to change in speed |
| DIFFRACTION | Bending of wave around the edge of a barrier |
| INTERFERENCE | Interaction between two waves that meet |
| CONSTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE | Waves combine to make wave with larger amplitude |
| STANDING WAVE | Incoming wave combines with reflected wave appears to stand still |
| SEISMIC WAVES | Waves produced by earthquakes |
| SEISMIC WAVES TRAVEL | From origin out IN ALL DIRECTIONS |
| PRIMARY WAVES | Longitudinal seismic waves known as.. |
| SECONDARY WAVES CANNOT TRAVEL | Travel through LIQUIDS |
| ANTINODES | Highest and Lowest points on a standing wave |
| MEDIUM | Material through which a wave travels |
| HERTZ | Frequency is measured in this |
| P WAVES | Waves detected on the side of the Earth OPPOSITE the epicenter |
| SURFACE WAVES | Type of wave caused by an earthquake--does most damage |
| TSUNAMIS | Earthquake underwater cause huge surface waves called.. |
| REFLECTION | Wave hits a surface, CANNOT pass through, bounces back |
| DESTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE | Waves combine to produce a smaller amplitude wave |
| AMPLITUDE | Maximum distance particles of medium move from REST position |
