yes! in the 1700s as presbyterian religious refugees. from 1845 to 1850 as a direct result of the great famine. from 1850 to 1930 - periodically due to domestic economic conditions. from 1950 to 1990 for economic reasons.

What is the first shock wave of an earthquake?
The P-wave is the first shockwave (more correctly termed seismic wave) to arrive during an earthquake.
Which wave the p-wave or s-wave would arrive at seismometer afer the eatrhquake?
Both, first the P wave Then the S wave.
Which type of body wave always arrives after the P-wave?
The next type of seismic wave to arrive after the P-wave is the S-wave.
The first s-wave arrive at a seismograph station 11 minutes after an earthquake occurred how long after the arrival of the first p-wave did the first s-wave arrive?
4 min 55 s
Why do S waves arrive at a seismograph later than P waves?
The seismic wave has a p and an s component. The s wave is the shear portion, and it speaks to the uplift or dropping of the surface area being affected. This wave travels out like a wave over the surface of water. The p wave is a pressure wave that travels out like a sound wave from a speaker. There is a huge difference, however. With sound, the air is being compressed in front of the speaker, while with a quake, ground is being compressed. The compression wave travels MUCH faster in a solid than in a fluid like air. The p wave in a seismic event will travel almost twice as fast as the s wave, and that means that the s wave will arrive at a seismographic sensor later than a p wave.
Who were the immigrants in the second wave of immigration?
the anwnser was Irish and German
What wave is always first to arrive?
p-waves
A wave with high amplitude?
Has more energy than a wave with low amplitude.
Does a P wave arrive at the seismograph first?
yes it does because its faster and its the primary wave
What is a wave of energy produced at the earthquake's focus?
therre is more than one wave, it could be a surface wave, or an s wave or p wave
What is an swave?
An S-wave is a secondary wave that comes after P-waves, and can travel only through solids.
Does a high frequency wave transmit more energy than a low frequency wave?
no.
