(teaser)Surf Girls-The Explosion is a documentary
film about the feminine professional surf in Portugal, and in the world. How they live
and compete, where they trying to go and achieve. The family and what is all that boom in
the surf life style. A surf camp of 230 girls in Ericeira, Portugal and what professional
male surfers think about all this pink. The sponsors and the gigantic marketing involving
surf brands changed they´re lives.
A boat trip in the Maldives with the Billabong international team and a cruise along

Yes, I realize that EM waves are much faster, do not need to travel through molecules and all the schoolbook answers.

But– at their core nature, what is the actual difference?

I get that EM waves are based on magnetism of electric waves; but I would like a relatable answer, not just a fact list of the specs.

I suppose I am asking how each wave is formed.

Sound waves are waves of motion within their medium. here is an example:
you and three friends are stading in a row. you shove one friend, who falls over into his friend, who in turn knocks over the next person. in this manner, motion is transferred between one particle and a neighboring particle. (note this example is extremely crude and you shouldn’t cite it.) another example: a speaker cone moves back and forth, causing the air in front of it to move back and forth along with it, which in turn affects air in front of it, and thus the sound wave propagates forward through the air.

Electromagnetic waves, however, do not need any medium to propagate. it is just basically raw energy. this raw energy can be viewed as packets, or photons, which act sort of like particles, or it can be viewed as waves which act without a medium. you should know the whole wave/particle duality thing, but aside from that, em radiation is a pretty nebulous concept. it helps if you just think of it as photons moving through space like particles, but also remember that they sometimes behave as waves. (i know, confusing, right?)

EM radiation is basically the universe’s way of conserving energy when it has no other option. when an electron drops to a lower energy state, the energy lost has to go somewhere so it ends up as a photon. not really any reason other than to conserve energy.

Shane Dorian and Mark Healey paddle into what may be the biggest wave ever caught without a jet ski at Waimea Bay on December 7, the day before the Eddie contest. A very likely finalist for the Monster Paddle category of the 2010 Billabong XXL Global Big Wave Awards. See www.BillabongXXL.com for more

My hair is naturally wavy but very frizzy! I want healthy moisturized slightly wavy hair but not where it makes my baby face rounder.
My natural hair and big waves here or there but I want small waves all around my head.

I’d prefer not to use heat because I’m trying to get rid of frizz.
If the length matters, I have bangs to my cheek on one side, I have bangs that reach to my shoulders and the back of my hair is in between my shoulders and the middle of my back.

You could work moisturizer into your hair and then curl sections around your finger. This would help to make little ringlets without your hair turning into a near-Afro.
