  2. Capillary wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_wave

    Capillary waves (ripples) in water Ripples on Lifjord in Øksnes Municipality, Norway Capillary waves produced by droplet impacts on the interface between water and air.. A capillary wave is a wave traveling along the phase boundary of a fluid, whose dynamics and phase velocity are dominated by the effects of surface tension.

  3. Ripple marks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_marks

    Linguoid ripples generate an angle to the flow as well as downstream. Linguoid ripples have a random shape rather than a "W" shape, as described in the catenary description. Lunate ripples, meaning crescent shaped ripples, are exactly like linguoid ripples except that the stoss sides are curved rather than the lee slope. All other features are ...

  4. Wave-formed ripple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave-formed_ripple

    Bi-directional ripples are rarely symmetrical due to the difference in force of the two directions, where as the wave formed or oscillation ripples form from the circular water movement pattern of water molecules. These ripples form parallel to the shore line. They usually display rounded troughs and rounded crests. Wave motion-i18n

    Composite patterns: aphids and newly born young in arraylike clusters on sycamore leaf, divided into polygons by veins, which are avoided by the young aphids Living things like orchids, hummingbirds, and the peacock's tail have abstract designs with a beauty of form, pattern and colour that artists struggle to match.

    An example of a mountain lake ecosystem. Hydrobiology is the science of life and life processes in water. Much of modern hydrobiology can be viewed as a sub-discipline of ecology but the sphere of hydrobiology includes taxonomy, economic and industrial biology, morphology, and physiology.

  9. Veliidae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veliidae

    Veliidae is a family of gregarious predatory insects in the suborder Heteroptera.They are commonly known as riffle bugs, small water striders, or broad-shouldered water striders because the segment immediately behind the head is wider than the rest of the abdomen.
