S Waves


What move through the earth by causing particles to move at right angles to the waves direction?

S-waves which are a form of seismic wave. Seismic waves are a type of mechanical wave known as a shear or transverse wave that travel through the solid Earth (but not the liquid outer core).

When the particles of a medium are vibrating at right angles to the direction of energy transport then the wave is what?

Transverse


Which type of wave do particles vibrate at right angles to the direction of the wave?

Transverse or Electromagnetic waves.


What kind of waves cause particles in rocks to move at right angles to direction of the wave.?

secondary waves


What kind waves cause particles in rocks to move at right angles to the direction of the wave?

secondary waves


What direction are you facing east and then turned clockwise through 2 right angles?

West


What happens to S waves when they reach the liquid part of the Earth's surface?

S waves cause rocks particles to move from side to side. The rock particles move at the right angles to the direction of the waves. However liquids can not support shear stresses and therefore S waves can not propagate through them.


What type of waves move through earth by causing particles of rocks to move at right angles to the direction of the waves?

A secondary wave causes rocks to vibrate at 90 degrees. This earthquake wave can travel through solids but not through liquids, and causes rock particles to vibrate at right angles to the direction of wave travel.


do particles vibrate in the direction of wave motion in transverse waves?

In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (at right angles). In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
