Though not inertia, the maximum frequency of vertically propagating waves named for this thing is the BruntVäisälä frequency.
Though not inertia, the maximum frequency of vertically propagating waves named for this thing is the BruntVäisälä frequency. The most prominent examples of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability are surface waves named for this thing. The "internal" type of waves named for this thing are formed at the interface between warm and cold or fresh and salt water. Density differences drive flows, or currents, named for this thing, whose most common example is turbidity currents. If density decreases with height, waves named for either buoyancy or this (*) force can result. All points on the geoid have the same value for this force's potential. This force is balanced by friction below the angle of repose and is the principal force behind mass wasting. For 10 points, identify this force whose differential field due to the Moon and Sun drives the tides.
