How scientists use seismic waves to map the earth's interior?
Scientists use seismic waves to map Earth's interior by using seismographs that measure the times at which seismic waves arrive at different distances from an earthquake.
In which area do seismic waves change dramatically?
they use vaginas
The last seismic waves to arrive are?
The last seismic waves to arrive are surface waves.
Which type of seismic waves arrives at distant points before any other seismic waves?
Primary waves are seismic waves and the arrive first after an earthquake occurs.
Which earthquake waves are the first to be recorded on a seismometer and are the fastest?
P-waves which are a compression or pressure wave are the fastest seismic waves. As they are the fastest they will reach the seismic station before any of the other seismic waves and be recorded first. Seismologists can use the difference between the arrival times of different seismic waves to calculate the distance and ultimately the location of the earthquakes epicentre. For information on this, please see the related question.
How you can use the words seismic wave and seismograph in the same sentence?
The seismograph measured the intensity of the seismic waves
How could you use seismic safe in a sentence?
Earthquake waves are transmitted through materials in earth and along earth's surface , also known as seismic waves .
How do seismic waves move through earth?
How do scientists use seismic waves to study the Earth
How scientists use seismic waves to map the earth's interior?

What waves do scientists use to find an earthquake's epicenter?
seismic waves
Is seismic waves and earthquake waves the same?
Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.
What does seismic?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
Seismic waves that shear rock side to side are called?
seismic waves actually the correct answer is S waves. trust me if you put seismic waves it will be wrong
Kind of wave released during an wave?
Earthquake waves are called seismic waves.
What Movement of the faults produces which kind of energy waves?
the waves caused by an earthquake are called seismic waves
How do light waves differ from seismic waves?
light waves are transversal, seismic waves are longitudinal.
What are seismic waves associated with?
Seismic waves are associated with earthquakes.
