S waves are longitudinal seismic waves?
This statement is incorrect. S waves are actually transverse seismic waves, meaning they move particles perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Longitudinal seismic waves are known as P waves.
What are the two types of waves?
The three types of seismic waves are:P waves, S waves, and Surface waves
Longitudinal seismic waves are know as?
Primary or P waves
Longitudinal seismic waves as known as?
Primary or P waves
Which forms of matter can primary and secondary seismic waves travel through?
Primary seismic waves are longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses (although seismic waves are of to low a frequency to normally be heard). Secondary seismic waves are transverse waves and only travel through solids.
Longitudinal seismic wave are known as?
The Answer is primary waves.
What are examples of longitudinal waves?
Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves, seismic waves, and sound waves in solids (such as ultrasound waves). These waves propagate by compressing and rarefying the medium in the direction of wave motion.
What type of seismic wave that compresses and expands the ground?
Longitudinal Waves
Are primary waves transverse or longitudinal?
Primary waves, also known as P-waves, are longitudinal seismic waves that travel through the interior of the Earth. They are the fastest seismic waves and are capable of traveling through both solids and liquids.
What statement best describes longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal waves are mechanical waves in which the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave's energy propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
A difference between sound waves and seismic waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves that travel through mediums such as air, while seismic waves are a combination of both longitudinal (P-waves) and transverse (S-waves) waves that travel through the Earth’s interior. Seismic waves are typically caused by geological events like earthquakes, while sound waves are produced by vibrating sources like speakers or instruments.
What are energy waves that are vibrations traveling through earth?
Seismic waves: longitudinal compression waves.
