Compressional seismic waves that moves rocks and other matter in the same direction as the waves travel?
Well, its actually kinda obvious. Its-----TROLOLOLOLO
What else can I help you with?
What matter vibrates in the same direction as these waves travel?
Compressional waves
What are compressional waves that move rocks and other matter in the same direction as the waves travel?
the
What are three facts about compressional waves?
Compressional waves are also known as longitudinal waves, where particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave. These waves are characterized by the compression and rarefaction of the medium they travel through. Examples of compressional waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
A transverse or compressional wave that can travel only through matter?
That would be sound.
What Squeezes and pulls rock in the same direction that the wave travels?
Seismic waves, specifically compressional (P-waves), squeeze and pull rock in the same direction that they travel. These waves cause particles in the rock to oscillate back and forth along the direction of propagation.
Which earthquake waves travel through matter with a push pull motion?
Primary (P) waves, also known as compressional waves, travel through matter with a push-pull motion. These waves are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
Can compressional waves travel through a vacuum?
No, compressional waves require a medium to travel through, so they cannot travel through a vacuum where there is no matter. Sound waves, which are compressional waves, cannot propagate through a vacuum.
Are seismic waves transverse or compressional waves?
Seismic waves can be either transverse or compressional. P-waves are compressional waves that travel fastest, while S-waves are transverse waves that travel slower. Both types of waves are generated by earthquakes and used to study the Earth's interior.
Which direction do Seismic waves travel?
in all directions
What seismic waves move the fastest?
Primary (P) waves move the fastest among seismic waves. They are compressional waves that travel through the Earth's interior, and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
How do scientists know the seismic waves can be either compressional or transverse?
Scientists know that seismic waves can be either compressional or transverse based on the way they propagate through the Earth's interior. Compressional waves, also known as P-waves, cause particles to move in the same direction as the wave, while transverse waves, also known as S-waves, cause particles to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. By studying the behavior of these waves during earthquakes and analyzing their travel times and patterns, scientists have been able to differentiate between the two types.
What wave causes particles in matter to move back and forth along the same direction in which the waves travel?
Longitudinal waves cause particles in matter to move back and forth along the same direction in which the waves travel. This type of wave propagation occurs in mediums where the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.
