Waves that carry energy through earth rocks are called?
Seismic waves.
What Type of seismic wave that travels the fastest through rock material by causing rocks to vibrate in the same direction as the waves?
Primary (P) waves are the fastest seismic waves that travel through rock material by causing rocks to vibrate in the same direction as the waves. P waves are able to travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
What affects the speed of seismic waves?
The speed of seismic waves are affected by the type of material that the waves are traveling through. in other words (as an example): some type of waves can travel through rocks but not through liquids.
What will happen if S waves encounter magma or molten rocks?
S waves will not pass through magma.
How do do waves affect rocks?
Waves can erode rocks by breaking them down into smaller particles through the process of abrasion. The constant force of waves crashing against rocks can also weaken and break them apart over time. Additionally, the continuous movement of waves can cause rocks to be shifted and repositioned along a shoreline.
Can sound waves travel through rocks?
Yes it can cause sound waves can travel through solids,liquids,but slowly in gases and air
Are sonic waves transverse or longitudinal?
Sonic waves are longitudinal waves, meaning the particles in the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This is in contrast to transverse waves where particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
What waves travel through rocks in an s shape?
Probably Earth Quakes
What types of materials do s waves pass through?
S waves, also known as secondary waves, can only pass through solid materials such as rocks and metals. They cannot travel through liquids or gases.
Type of seismic wave that travels the fastest through rock material by causing rocks to vibrate in the same direction as the waves?
Primary waves (P-waves) are the type of seismic wave that travels the fastest through rock material. These waves are able to cause rocks to vibrate in the same direction as the waves, resulting in a back-and-forth motion.
How do shellfish communicate?
They use their pincers to snap at the air and send ultra sonic waves through the ocean
What are sonic sound waves?
Sonic sound waves are a type of mechanical wave that propagate through a medium, such as air or water, by causing particles in the medium to vibrate back and forth. These waves have frequencies within the range of human hearing, typically between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz. Sonic sound waves are responsible for transmitting sound from its source to our ears.
