How do seismic waves behave when they encounter a fault?
Seismic waves can be reflected, refracted, or diffracted when they encounter a fault. The behavior of the waves depends on the orientation and properties of the fault. Additionally, seismic waves can generate new waves when they interact with a fault, contributing to complex wave patterns in the Earth's subsurface.
What seismic waves occur arrive after p waves?
Secondary waves.
This energy is released by fault movement forms this?
The energy released by fault movement forms seismic waves.
How can you use 'seismic waves' in a sentence?
Seismic waves occur when there is an earthquake.
When earthquakes occur what waves do they produce?
Seismic waves and tsunamis.
How geologists use seismographic data to make maps of fault?
When seismic waves hit a fault, the waves are reflected off the fault.Seismograph can detect these reflected seismic waves.Geologists then use these data to map the fault's length and depth.
What makes waves small?
Very small seismic activity causes small waves to occur. The bigger the waves get the larger the seismic activity is.
What do earthquakes do?
Seismic waves due to slip across fault planes
Why do seismic waves originate along fault lines?
Seismic waves originate along fault lines because that is an edge of a tectonic plate. Imagine the tectonic plates as pieces of a puzzle. The fault line is the wavy side or edge in the piece and the pieces fit together. Whenever the plates move, they rub against the tectonic plates or puzzle pieces on their sides creating seismic waves.
What is released when rock moves along a fault?
Seismic waves are released when rock moves along a fault. These waves are the ones that cause earthquakes.
When earthquakes occur they produced waves called?
They're called Seismic waves
How do geologist use seismographic data to map of faults?
When seismic waves hit a fault, the waves are reflected off the fault.Seismograph can detect these reflected seismic waves.Geologists then use these data to map the fault's length and depth.
