What else can I help you with?
Are the three types of seismic waves the same?
no, there are p-waves, s-waves, surface waves
Is it true that surface waves move more quickly than p and s waves?
No, P and S waves travel faster than surface waves. P waves are the fastest seismic waves, followed by S waves, with surface waves being the slowest. Surface waves are responsible for most of the damage caused by earthquakes due to their amplitude and duration.
What are the three categories of seismic waves?
p wave comes first s wave comes next and last comes surface wave.
Is it true that surface waves move more quickly than p waves and s waves?
no, p waves are the fastest followed by s waves and finally surface waves
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
Which travels slower p waves or surface waves?
surface waves because p waves and s waves are way faster so here is how it goes from fastest to slowest: is p wave and then s wave and then surface waves
What are the three seismic waves?
They are P Waves S Waves and Surface Waves.
Seismic waves can exists as?
P waves, S waves and surface waves
How many types of seismic waves are produced at the same time in an earthquake?
Three main types of seismic waves are produced at the same time in an earthquake: primary (P-waves), secondary (S-waves), and surface waves. P-waves are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. S-waves are slower and only travel through solids. Surface waves are the slowest and cause the most destruction.
What wave can only pass along earth's surface?
S waves (surface waves)
How does energy from earthquake reach earth surface?
energy reachs earth surface through seismic waves: P waves S waves and Surface waves
Are secondary waves faster than surface waves?
Yes, secondary waves (S-waves) are faster than surface waves. S-waves are seismic waves that travel through the interior of the Earth, while surface waves travel along the Earth's surface. S-waves have higher velocities because they travel through solid material, whereas surface waves experience slower speeds as they propagate through less rigid layers.
