Motion in the Ocean: Waves

Waves: winds, surface, and erosion
-waves crash when molecules under water hit a surface and slow down while molecules on top keep moving




Reflection: waves hit the something and bounce off
Refraction:waves bend as water passes over shapes








Diffraction: how waves change when passing through two objects



Frequency: time it takes for a wavelength to pass a given point.
