What type of waves move across the direction of travel?
Transverse waves will move across the direction of travel.
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.
What directions do waves move in?
Towards the shore.
Surface waves cause rock to move?
Surface waves cause rock to move in a circular path.
When drawing a free body diagram for an object on an inclined surface which way does the friction force point?
if in gravity environment it points opposite to the direction it wants to move. That is the force is uphill, parallel to the inclined surface. due to applied force. Under an applied force, again, it points opposite to the direction it wants to move
Waves move in the direction of the?
wind
Do p waves or surface waves move faster?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
What is the difference between how transverse waves and longitudinal waves move particles?
In transverse waves, particles move in a parallel & perpendicular direction relative to the direction of energy transport.
Do transverse waves move perpendicular or parallel to the direction of the wave?
They move perpendicular to the direction they transfer
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.
What direction do surface currents move?
The surface currents move in a clockwise direction in the Northern hemisphere, and move in a counter clockwise direction in the Southern hemisphere! Hope it helped:)
What are wave classification?
Mechanical waves are produced when a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate. Mechanical waves are classified by how they move. There are two types of mechanical waves: transverse waves and longitudinal waves. Transverse means "across." Longitude means "horizontal". Transverse waves move the particles of the medium perpendicular to the direction in which the waves are traveling. Longitudinal waves move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling. by how they move
