Description: The prospect that density waves and galactic shock waves are present on the large-scale in disk-shaped galaxies has received support in recent years from both theoretical and observational studies. Large-scale galactic shock waves in the interstellar gas are suggested to play an important, governing role in star formation, molecule formation, and the degree of development of spiral structure. Through the dynamics of the interstellar gas and the galactic shock wave phenomenon, a new insight into the physical basis underlying the morphological classification system of galaxies is suggested.
