Orange County Discovery Science Center On September 27, I went to the Orange County Discovery Science Center and learned about the technology there. One of the things I saw was the wavelengths and frequency of an earthquake. I learned that the number of wave crests passing the given point in a second depends on the wavelength and the higher the frequency is, the shorter the wavelength is. The second thing I saw was a wave tank that shows the different motions of the waves. I learned that ocean waves are created by forces. As a wave moves toward the beach, it wants to continue traveling at a constant velocity. So, as the ocean depth decreases, the bottom of the wave has
