Compared to P waves and S waves do surface waves move slower or faster?
Surface waves move slower. P waves are the fastest. Surface waves are the slowest. they are slowest but most destructive.
Do surface waves move faster than P-waves or S-waves?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
What happens the the p wave when they strike the inner core?
When the P wave strikes the inner core it bends and goes in a different direction.
When do P waves arrive at the surface in relation to S waves?
when the P waves arrive at the surface in relation to s waves and surface waves is called the promary waves.
Why do P waves travel faster through the lithosphere than through the asthenosphere?
because the P waves move faster through more rigid substances than through non rigid material>
Compared to P waves and S waves do surface waves move slower or faster?
Surface waves move slower. P waves are the fastest. Surface waves are the slowest. they are slowest but most destructive.
How much faster does p waves move than s waves?
P-waves move around 3 km/s faster than s-waves.
Are p-waves faster than s-waves and surface waves?
Yes. P-waves have the highest velocity of all seismic waves and surface waves have the lowest.
Do surface waves move faster than P-waves or S-waves?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
How do surface waves particles move?
, ,p,;p;
Which travels slower p waves or surface waves?
surface waves because p waves and s waves are way faster so here is how it goes from fastest to slowest: is p wave and then s wave and then surface waves
How do surface waves move rock particle?
, ,p,;p;
Is it true that surface waves move more quickly than p and s waves?
no, p waves are the fastest followed by s waves and finally surface waves
Is it true that surface waves move more quickly than p waves and s waves?
no, p waves are the fastest followed by s waves and finally surface waves
Another word for seismic waves that characterizes the way they move?
P-Waves (Primary Waves) S-Waves (Secondary Waves) Surface Waves
What ares seismic waves?
Seismic waves are vibrations that travel through the Earth carrying the energy released during earthquakes. == Seismic waves are waves that are a result of earthquake activity in the earth. There are body and surface waves. Body waves happen inside the earth and are called P (longitudinal) and S (transverse) waves. Surface waves happen on the Earth's surface and are called Rayleigh and Love waves. P-waves (primary waves) go first, compress and expand the earth, and are faster. S-waves (secondary waves) go second, move the ground up and down or side to side, and are not as fast as P waves.
