PPT-African Easterly Waves

African Easterly Waves Barotropic Instability Structure SO 442 Tropical Meteorology The Wave Moves Over Water Once the wave moves over the Atlantic it loses the horizontal temperature gradient from which it was drawing its strengthwhat happens to the wave now.

A wave does not carry matter . It only moves matter as it travels through it.. Waves. Compression (longitudinal) waves . are waves in which the particles of the medium move in a direction .

A mass at the end of a spring. Wave. Repeating disturbance or movement. Carries energy through matter and space. Vibrations. Anything that moves in a rhythmic patter. Up and down. Back and forth. What is a Wave. All waves are produced when something vibrates. and bark At the zoo Grass hay textured grain alfalfa greens spinach kale and lettuces apples carrots corn and sweet potatoes Supplements include Vitamin E and mineral salts Treats include horse candy Get 1 full page and 1 half page of paper.
