Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Waves of oscillation refer to the movement of particles in a repeating back-and-forth motion, which is most commonly seen in surface waves on deep water. Tsunamis involve large-scale displacement of water due to seismic activity, and backwash and swash refer to the movement of water on a shore. Waves of perturbation can refer to any disturbance or disruption that causes waves, but is not specific to oscillation.
