Which earthquake waves travel through matter with a push pull motion?
P-waves.
What are the waves of force called that travel through Earth as a result of an earthquake?
Seismic Waves.
What is a seismic monitor?
A machine or program to measure seismic waves that travel through the earth after an earthquake or explosion.
What direction will earthquake waves travel?
Earthquake waves travel in all directions.
What is an swave?
An S-wave is a secondary wave that comes after P-waves, and can travel only through solids.
What do earthquake waves travel through?
earthquake waves travel through the earths crust.
When an earthquake occurs seismic waves travel outward from the?
Epicentre.
How do you locate where an earthquake starts?
There is a network of seismometers (earth-quake detectors) setup around the world. When an earthquake occurs it releases a set of powerful waves which travel through the Earth and are detected by the seismometers. By comparing the time taken to reach each seismometer the epicentre of the earthquake can be triangulated.
What type of earthquake wave could travel through a vacuum?
Since an earthquake or seismic wave is a pressure or force wave (like sound waves), it requires a material in which to propagate. So, no earthquake waves can travel through a vacuum.
What evidence do we have that Earth's outer core is molten?
There are two types of seismic body waves that travel through the earth when an earthquake occurs. P-waves and S-waves. When an earthquake occurs it has been observed that there is a zone at the opposite side of the earth where P-waves are detected but S-waves are not. S-waves are not able to travel through liquids where as P-waves can and as such it is believed that the shadow zone is caused by the presence of a liquid outer core.
What are earthquake generated waves called?
Earthquake generated waves are called seismic waves. These are waves of energy that travel through the Earth's layers. Their velocity depends on the elasticity and density of the medium that they travel through.
What cause earthquake waves to change direction as they travel through Earth?
by their boundaries
What earthquake waves travel through solids?
P waves or primary waves.
Do seismic waves need a medium to travel through?
Seismic, or earthquake waves travel through the earth. They may travel through our crust, which is rocky, or through the more fluid parts, like the mantle, but the medium is the earth.
What can happen to the Earth's surface when the vibrations from an earthquake travel through the crust?
hg
What are the waves of force called that travel through Earth as a result of an earthquake?
Seismic Waves.
Which earthquake waves travel through matter with a push pull motion?
P-waves.
