What is the difference between a tsunami and seismic waves?
tsunami's happen underwater and seismic waves happen on land or underground.
What is the difference between sound waves and earthquake waves?
u figure it out dude
What is the difference between seismic wave and tsunami?
A tsunami wave is a wave of energy that travels through water, while a seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through earth.
Which earthquake waves are the first to be recorded on a seismometer and are the fastest?
P-waves which are a compression or pressure wave are the fastest seismic waves. As they are the fastest they will reach the seismic station before any of the other seismic waves and be recorded first. Seismologists can use the difference between the arrival times of different seismic waves to calculate the distance and ultimately the location of the earthquakes epicentre. For information on this, please see the related question.
What is the connection between seismic waves and an earthquake?
A seismic wave is created by a earthquake.
What is the difference between a tsunami and seismic waves?
tsunami's happen underwater and seismic waves happen on land or underground.
What are examples of longitudinal waves?
sound waves, seismic wavessound waves
How are sound waves and seismic waves alike?
they're mechanical waves
What happens to seismic waves in the air?
In air, the seismic waves(P-wave) are simply sound waves, and travel with the speed of sound (approx. 335 m/s).
What is an example of an mechanical wave?
sound
What is the difference between sound waves and vibrations?
Sound waves are resulted due to vibrations.
What waves propagate the energy of sound and explosions and earthquakes?
seismic waves
What is an example mechanical waves?
Ocean waves, seismic waves, and sound waves are some examples.
What is an mechanical wave?
Ocean waves, seismic waves, and sound waves are some examples.
What are sound waves produced by a vibrating object?
SEISMIC WAVES.Tranverse Waves.
What is wave mechanisms?
Ocean waves, seismic waves, and sound waves are some examples.
What is the difference between the sound waves and ultrasound?
Difference is in their frequency, audible sound waves is between 12 Hz and 20,000 Hz, Ultrasound waves is any sound that has a frequency beyond the 20,000 Hz limit
