WATER
You can see debris bobbing up and down on the water, indicating that the wave is transverse. That is, the wave oscillates perpendicular to the direction of propagation. ...There is another type of wave known as a longitudinal wave, where oscillations occur in the same direction as the propagation, such as the oscillation of a slinky or sound waves.
The solid and broken bars in the eight image tiles in the top navigation are called trigrams. The octagonal trigram pattern is a common symbol for the Chinese term Bagua. The pattern has eight (ba) areas (guas). "South" is always found at the top of the Bagua. Each trigram represents a particular natural phenomena: Sky ☰, Lake ☱, Fire ☲, Thunder ☳, Wind ☴, Water ☵, Mountain ☶, Earth ☷. If you click on a , it will take you to the corresponding taekwondo form page. Each form has a trigram which I describe scientifically and call scigrams. The animation in the middle of the tiles is supposed to represent a kicking woman. A tangram is a puzzle which originated in China. It is created out of seven flat polygons that can be put together to form shapes.
The movements are listed here so that you can see the Korean translation for some of the techniques by hovering over the green and pink highlighted text.
