two types of body waves?
p waves and s waves
What are the two types of body waves?
The most main two body waves are S wave & P wave
What are examples of p waves?
could you help me in my homework? the question is list 5 examples of p waves and s waves
Which waves s-waves or p-waves reach a seismograph first why?
The Pressure wave is a longitudinal wave - it is a compression/rarefaction wave and has the highest velocity.The Secondary wave is a transverse wave (side to side) and is much slower.
Transverse and longitudinal waves both?
Quaternion waves, e.g. earthquake wave, P and S waves..
What patterns do seismograph data reveal?
The different types of waves- s waves p waves or surface waves
How have scientists determined that the outer layer is liquid?
Seismic waves can be separated into basically two different types; S-waves and P-waves. P-waves are able to travel through liquid and solid, but S-waves can not travel through a liquid, they can only travel through a solid. When scientist "shoot" P and S-waves at the outer core, they detect the P-waves coming out the other side, but not the S-waves.
Is p wave larger s wave surface wave or tsunamis?
Neither. P and S waves are body waves. Tsunamis are a different matter entirely.
Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What type of seismic wave are P waves and S waves?
P and S waves are body 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.
What is the difference Between S waves P waves?
P-waves are faster than s-waves. Both can pass through solid rock, but only p-waves can pass through gases and liquids === ===
What does the S wave and P wave stand for?
P waves are primary waves and S waves are called secondary waves
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.
What directions does P waves and S waves go?
P waves go side to side. S waves go up and down.
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What is s waves and p waves?
P-waves are faster than s-waves. Both can pass through solid rock, but only p-waves can pass through gases and liquids === ===
