Science Unit Study Guide

A pebble is thrown into a calm lake, ripples are formed from the center and move outward. The water particles in the lake travel in a circular pattern that moves up and down on the surface of a lake, and the energy travels

• horizontally

• diagonally

• downward

• upward
