A primary wave is a strong vibration or wave that hits earths surface (P) and a secondary wave (S) is a wave that hits soon after but not nearly as big.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference in time between when a primary wave arrives and a secondary wave arrives?
5 seconds
What wave is called the secondary wave?
primary
What happens to the time difference between primary and secondary waves as the distance traveled get longer?
the secondary wave breaks up
What happens to the time difference between primary and secondary waves as the distance travels longer?
The secondary wave breaks up.
What happens to the time difference between primary and secondary wave as the distance traveled gets longer?
As the distance traveled by the primary and secondary waves increases, the time difference between them also increases. This is because primary waves travel faster through the Earth than secondary waves, resulting in a greater time gap between their arrivals at a given location.
Which type of wave is a secondary wave?
Any wave has two directions: the up and down direction (primary wave) and the side to side direction (secondary wave).
What is a sentence for secondary wave?
The secondary wave of the earthquake cause little damage, only a few buildings fell.
What are the 3 seismic waves?
i)surface wave ii)primary wave iii)secondary wave
How are primary and secondary waves alike How are they different?
the petrographical interaction between them are at different levels therefore occurring in different wave lengths.
What are the four kinds of waves that travel through the earth involved with earthquakes?
The Primary wave, the secondary wave, the surface wave, and the seismic wave
Which seismic wave does more damage primary wave secondary wave or surface wave?
Surface waves typically cause more damage than primary or secondary waves during an earthquake. They travel along the earth's surface and are responsible for the shaking that can result in building collapse and other structural damage. Primary and secondary waves, while important for seismologists to study, usually do not cause as much damage as surface waves.
Does a primary seismic wave have a larger shadow zone than a secondary wave?
no, an s-wave shadow zone is way larger
