How are seismic wave and earthquake alike?

seismic waves are a result of earthquakes


What are examples of longitudinal waves?

Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves, seismic waves, and sound waves in solids (such as ultrasound waves). These waves propagate by compressing and rarefying the medium in the direction of wave motion.


What happens to seismic waves in the air?

In air, the seismic waves(P-wave) are simply sound waves, and travel with the speed of sound (approx. 335 m/s).


A difference between sound waves and seismic waves?

Sound waves are longitudinal waves that travel through mediums such as air, while seismic waves are a combination of both longitudinal (P-waves) and transverse (S-waves) waves that travel through the Earth’s interior. Seismic waves are typically caused by geological events like earthquakes, while sound waves are produced by vibrating sources like speakers or instruments.

What waves go through the earth's atmosphere?

Elastic waves, particularly sound waves and seismic waves, can travel through the Earth's atmosphere. Sound waves propagate through the air, while seismic waves are generated by earthquakes and travel through the Earth's crust and mantle.


What type of seismic wave is closest to sound waves?

How are waves related to sound energy and seismic energy?

Waves are the carriers of both sound energy and seismic energy. In the case of sound energy, it is carried through compressional waves in the air or other mediums. For seismic energy, it is transmitted through elastic waves in the Earth's crust. In both cases, the energy is transferred through the vibration of particles.
