---|---|---|---|---|
What is The highest point of a transverse wave.
Crest
|
What is
The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are close together.
Compression
|
What is Electromagnetic waves with wavelengths shorter than visible light, but longer than x-rays.
Ultraviolet Rays
|
English natural scientist who formulated a theory of evolution by natural selection (1809-1882). Famous for studying the finches of the Galapagos Islands.
Charles Darwin
|
The extinction of all members of a species that do not have a genetic variation suited for their environment.
Selection
|
What is The lowest point of a transverse wave.
Trough
|
What is
An electromagnetic wave of a frequency between about 104 and 1011 or 1012 Hz, as used for long-distance communication.
Radio Waves
|
What is Electromagnetic radiation having a very short wavelength; can penetrate substances such as skin and muscle
X-Rays
|
A process in which individuals that have certain inherited traits tend to survive and reproduce at higher rates than other individuals because of those traits.
Natural Selection
|
The best scientific explanation for both the unity and diversity of life; proposed by Charles Darwin.
The Theory of Evolution
|
For a wave or vibration, the maximum displacement on either side of the equilibrium (midpoint) position.
Amplitude
|
What is Electromagnetic waves that have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than radio waves.
Microwaves
|
What is Electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies.
Gamma Rays
|
A situation that occurs when things are going well in ecosystems, causing a baby "boom".
Overproduction
|
An inherited behavior that helps an organism survive.
Behavioral Adaptation
|
What is The Horizontal distance between the crests or between the troughs of two adjacent waves.
Wavelength
|
What is Waves that are longer than visible light waves.
Infrared Waves
|
What is Unit of frequency
Hz (Hertz)
|
Any difference between individuals of the same species that is inherited for seemingly no reason.
Variation
|
A change in some part of the body that helps an organism survive in its environment.
Physical Adaptation
|
What is The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are far apart.
Rarefaction
|
What is Electromagnetic radiation that can be seen with the unaided eye.
Visible Light
|
What is the wavelength is the spatial period of a periodic wave—the distance over which the wave's shape repeats.
Wavelength
|
The competing between members of a species (Specifically between individuals with and individuals without the genetic mutation.)
Competition
|
A physical feature of an organism's body having a specific function that contributes to the survival of the organism.
Structural Adaptation
