The antonym of "disturbance" is "calm" or "peace."
The maximum disturbance of a wave from a point of zero disturbance is called the amplitude of the wave. It represents the maximum displacement of the wave from its equilibrium position.
No, waves created by a large disturbance do not necessarily travel faster than waves created by a small disturbance. The speed of a wave depends on the medium through which it is traveling, not on the size of the disturbance that created it.
A primary disturbance is a direct result of an external event or factor in an ecosystem, potentially causing significant changes in the ecosystem structure and function. It often initiates a cascade of other disturbances or impacts on the ecosystem. Examples include wildfires, hurricanes, or human activities like clear-cutting forests.
