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.

Which wave is a body wave?
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.
Which are more destructive body waves or surface waves?
Surface waves.
Is a P-wave a body wave?
Yes. In a seismic context, P and S waves are body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves are surface waves.
The seismic waves that travel through Earths interior are waves.?
body waves
What do body waves of an earthquake consist of?
It consist two types of waves primary waves and secondary waves.
Waves interact with different surfaces in different ways Waves often bounce off objects such as water What is this form of wave movement called?
reflection
How many surface waves are there?
There is Two types of surface waves :)
How do surface waves differ form body waves?
Body waves: seismic waves that travel through the body of a medium Surface waves: seismic waves that travel along the surface of a medium and have a strong effect near the surface of the medium than it has in the interior
What are two ways that P waves are different from S waves?
Body waves travel through the inside of earth's surface.Surface waves travel through the top part of earth's crust
How do objects on different surfaces?
Objects move on different surfaces by friction.

What surfaces refract light?
For refraction to occur, there must obviously be two different substances that are both transparent to the radiation or waves under consideration. Also, the two substances must have different indices of refraction.
