What else can I help you with?
What is the distance of an ocean wave trough to trough?
That will be wavelength you can figure out the distance by doing this wavelength (m) ---------------------- Wave period (s)=wave speed (m/s)
Which type of seismic wave can only pass through earths mantle?
There is no seismic wave that can only pass through the Earth's mantle. However S-waves can not travel through earth's outer core because it is a liquid.
Is wavelength the distance along the s waves?
No, wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points of a wave that are in phase, either trough to trough or crest to crest. S waves are a type of seismic wave that moves through the interior of Earth.
Which kind of seismic wave cannot pass through water?
The S-wave.
What type of earthquake wave moves through only crust and mantle?
The type of earthquake wave that moves only through the crust and mantle is called the S-wave (secondary wave). S-waves are slower than P-waves, cannot propagate through liquids like the outer core, and cause side-to-side shaking motion.
What angle does a s wave move?
S waves move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This means that S waves move in a side-to-side or horizontal motion as they travel through the Earth's crust and mantle.
What is the transverse wave that is the second to reach the location of an earthquake?
These are known as the seismic waves or the s waves. They will reach the earthquake location second after the first shock.
Why is the s-wave shadow zone larger than the p- wave shadow zone?
S waves cannot pass through the outer core. P waves can pass through both outer and inner core.
Can an S wave pass through liquid?
S-waves can ONLY move through solid rock.
What does a s wave look like?
An S wave is a type of seismic wave that moves in a shearing, or side-to-side, motion. It typically travels slower than a P wave and is unable to pass through liquids. On a seismograph, an S wave appears as a series of sharp zigzag lines.
What is a transverse wave associated with an earthquake and which cannot move through liquid?
The Secondary or S-wave is a transverse wave associated with earthquakes that can not pass through liquids.
What wave can only pass along earth's surface?
S waves (surface waves)
