Many synthetic organic compounds such as plastic polymers, and a few natural ones, contain halogen atoms; these are known as halogenated compounds or organic halides. Chlorine is by far the most abundant of the halogens in seawater, and the only one needed in relatively large amounts (as chloride ions) by humans.
What is the difference between a tsunami and a tidal wave? Although both are sea waves, a tsunami and a tidal wave are two different and unrelated phenomena. A tidal wave is the wave motion of the tides. A tidal wave is a shallow water wave caused by the gravitational interactions between the Sun, Moon, and Earth.
Transverse wave-A transverse wave is a wave in which the motion of the medium is perpendicular to the motion of the wave. For example, with a transverse wave: Water waves are mostly transverse. The water moves up and down while the wave travels over the surface of the water.
