Where do longitudinal waves originate?
Longitudinal waves are the result of earthquakes, and are also known as Primary, or P-Waves. Longitudinal waves are faster than Transverse (Secondary) Waves. A diagram of a Longitudinal wave is a straight line, with a denser area where the wave itself is travelling.

Are transverse waves stronger than longitudinal waves?
It depends on what you mean by stronger. Transverse waves aren't able to go through liquids.
Which type of wave travels slower through gases than it does through solid?
pressure waves longitudinal waves
What type of wave has movement that is parallel to the direction of the wave?
This is a longitudinal wave or a P-wave (primary wave), called so because it travels faster than a transverse wave, which moves at right angles to the direction the wave travels.
Do longitudinal waves travel the fastest?
Longitudinal waves, the result of earthquakes, also known as Primary, or P-Waves, are faster than Transverse (Secondary) Waves.

How are sound waves longitudinal?
Yes sound waves are longitudinal, rather than transverse, the oscillate parallel to the direction of travel
Are transverse waves genarally stronger than longitudinal waves?
Answer #1:Yes==========Answer #2:No

Which type of wave travels slower through gases than it does through solid?
pressure waves longitudinal waves
What are the two different types of waves?
transverse and longitudinal Well, it depends on what your teacher explained. However earthquakes can be: 1) tectonic, 2) volcanic or can be 1) natural, 2) induced (that is induced by human activity, such as mines and reservoirs). Any scientific site like that of the USGS could be a useful source of information.

What three types of siesmic waves are formed by earthquakes?
Transverse, longitudinal, love, and Rayleigh - just to name a few (there's more than three...)
