What do different waves travel through?
surface waves can only travel along the surface.
What is a water wave?
dispersion of water waves generally refers to frequency dispersion, which means that waves of different wavelengths travel at different phase speeds. Water waves, in this context, are waves propagating on the water surface, and forced by gravity and surface tension.
How are surfaces different from body waves?
A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface. P and S waves are body waves. Each type of wave shakes the ground in different ways.
How does the energy from an earth quake reach the surface of earth?
It travels through the ground.
Which are more destructive body waves or surface waves?
Surface waves.
Waves that travel at the surface such as Raleigh and long waves?
surface waves, raleigh waves, and long waves.
Are also known as L waves.?
Surface waves
Surface waves are also called?
L waves
Which wave type is formed when the waves reach the Earths surface?
L waves are formed when P&S waves reach the surface.
What are also known as L waves?
Presuming you mean earthquakes, L waves are known as Long waves. P waves are known as primary waves, and S waves are known as secondary waves.
What does the L in l-waves stand for?
l waves are the slowest our waves . They are also called "Long Waves" . They travel along the surface of the Earth . They are the ones that people notice the most .
Which wave type is formed when the wave reach the earths surface?
L waves are formed when P&S waves reach the surface.
What do different waves travel through?
surface waves can only travel along the surface.
What are the different types of earthquakes waves?
The three types of earthquake waves are primary waves, surface waves, and secondary waves.
What patterns do seismograph data reveal?
The different types of waves- s waves p waves or surface waves
How are seismic waves and sound waves similar?
water waves are the movement of water bodies in respond to disturbances which may include a moving boat, a fallen pebble, or movement in the direction of the wind. while seismic waves are vibration generated by earthquake explosion or similar energetic source and propagated within the earth interior or along its surface.
What matter do L-Waves travel through?
only through the surface of the earth
