What type of seismic waves that arrive at the surface first?
Those are the P-waves, which are the fastest and weakest.
What is rayleigh scattering?
Rayleigh waves are a type of Surface wave. Surface waves occur when Secondary waves and Primary waves reach the Surface of the Earth's crust during an earthquake. Surface waves cause the most damage.
What are 3 types of waves when an earthquake happens?
they are primary, secondary, and surface waves
primary waves or p waves?
face to be felt on earth's surface
What wave type causes the most destruction?
I think they are P or C Waves no..... S waves, Surface waves, or Shear waves cause the MOST damage (and i don't think 'C' waves are real), as they shake things sideways and/or up and down.
What type of seismic waves that arrive at the surface first?
Those are the P-waves, which are the fastest and weakest.
What are the three diffrent kinds of seismic waves?
The three types of earthquake waves are the Primary wave the Secondary wave and the surface or Long wave
Why are earthquake waves called primary secondary and surface?
Primary and secondary refer to the order in which they come out, surface waves are called surface because they resonate close to the surface
What is rayleigh scattering?
Rayleigh waves are a type of Surface wave. Surface waves occur when Secondary waves and Primary waves reach the Surface of the Earth's crust during an earthquake. Surface waves cause the most damage.
What type of waves are genered by earthquakes?
Primary Waves, Secondary Waves, and Surface Waves.
What type of seismic waves cause the most damage?
The surface waves (of which their are two types, Rayleigh and Love waves) cause the most damage during an earthquake.
What are three types of waves generated by earthquakes?
Primary Waves, Secondary Waves, and Surface Waves.
What is the term for a water wave that is caused by underwater earthquake?
Body waves Body waves and surface waves are the two types of seismic waves formed during great earthquakes. P waves and S waves are called body waves because they travel through the body of the Earth. Surface waves Love waves and Rayleigh waves travel only on the surface of the Earth and cause the most destruction.
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
Surface waves cause rock to move?
Surface waves cause rock to move in a circular path.
What wave do earthquakes make?
Seismic waves Types: Primary waves Secondary waves Surface waves
Can a surface wave go through a earthquake and a seismograph?
a surface wave is a earthquake it comes last. It goes Primary waves, Secondary waves, and Surface waves.
