transverse waves move particles in a direction perpendicular to the wave motion

transverse waves move particles in a direction parallel to the wave motion

longitudinal waves move particles in a direction parallel to the wave motion

longitudinal waves move particles in a direction perpendicular to the wave motion

Tornadoes form over land, while hurricanes form over bodies of water

Tornadoes form under low pressure, while hurricanes form under high pressure

Tornadoes never form when there is rain, while hurricanes always form with rain.

Tornadoes form in a stable atmosphere, while hurricanes form in an unstable atmosphere

Next to the man there is low frequency and longer wavelengths

Next to the man there is high frequency and shorter wavelengths

Next to the lady there is high frequency and shorter wavelengths

Next to the lady is low frequency and shorter wavelengths

radio waves travel shorter distances

radio waves carry more information over long distances

radio waves have less energy

radio waves have lower chances of stopped form transmitting the information

it will morph into a typhoon

it will upgrade its category

it will get stronger

it will get weaker

Severe thunderstorms form, air pressure suddenly drops, warm air rises quickly, & winds are blowing in the opposite direction

Unusually persistent dry weather due to a lack of precipitation and increased temperatures

Potential energy builds up and suddenly released near fault zones, large vibrations move through rock or other Earth materials, and causes rocks to deform slowly over time

A low pressure system forms over warm water, moist air rises into it to give it energy, and has wind speeds of at least 74 mph

fire resistant materials will prevent a fire from spreading through the home

isolation bearings will help the house maintain it's shape

placing the house on stilts will allow water to pass underneath the home preventing water damage from storm surges

placing metal bars over the windows and doors will stop the wind from entering the house

the sound changes amplitude

the sound changes pitch

the sound changes volume

the sound changes speed

cooler than normal temperatures occur because the atmosphere is more transparent

cooler than normal temperatures occur because the atmosphere is less transparent

warmer than normal temperatures occur because the atmosphere is less transparent

warmer than normal temperatures occur because the atmosphere is more transparent

send satellites to calculate the mass and acceleration of the asteroid

use the doppler radar to measure the direction and speed of the asteroid

send probes to the asteroid to detect the mass and acceleration of the asteroid

use rockets to push the asteroid and detect its mass and acceleration

Most volcanic zones on Earth are in areas of colder climates

Most volcanic zones on Earth are near the southern part of the world

Most volcanic zones on Earth are focused on the antarctic place

Most volcanic zones on Earth are near plate boundaries

Use a monitor to measure the air quality

Put isolation bearings in buildings to help them retain their shape

Build houses with no vents or windows to avoid contact with volcanic gas or ash

Use seismographs to help predict a volcanic eruptions
