Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
There are distinctive parts to a wave. This includes the wavelength and wave height. The wave period
is the time is takes for a wave to travel the distance of one wavelength. Information can be found in the
section Waves Move Energy Across the Sea Surface.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Standing waves are created by the interference to the vertical oscillation formation in waves. This is
from wave reflection. Information can be found in the section Deep-Water Waves Change to Shallow-
Water Waves As They Approach Shore
