Default AM electromagnetic waves: 20 KHz modulation frequency on an astronomically-low carrier frequency

With AM, it's ALWAYS the high frequency
that acts as the carrier
and the lower that acts as the modulation.

In AM, isn't the carrier the signal which always maintains a constant
frequency and only varies by amplitude?

If a carrier signal varies by anything other than just amplitude, then
it isn't AM. Right?
