What are seismic waves that move rocks up and down like a wave in a rope?
S waves
Compare and contrast 3 types of waves?
Transverse (rope),Longitudinal (spring),and Surface (Water & Air) waves
How do P-waves and S-waves differ?
P-waves are longitudinal, S-waves are transverse. P-waves travel faster than S-waves. P-waves can travel through Solids and Liquids whereas S-waves can only travel through solids.
What is the behavior when a wave pass through another wave and what type of behavior?
No matter the type of wave (Transverse or Longitudinal), all waves follow the Principle of Superposition. This principle is described very aptly by its name. For example, (In an ideal world) if you took a long jump rope and tied one end down, you could move the jump rope up and down once and watch a wave go to the wall, and then come back towards you, and attempt to whip the rope out of your hands. Now lets say you move your hand up and then down, sending a full sinusoidal wave down the rope. When the first wave hits the wall and is reflected back towards you, for a moment, the rope will be completely flat (at the wall).This is because the waves superimpose over each other. The wave going up is put over the wave going down, momentarily canceling the waves out.The most surprising part is when the waves suddenly appear from nowhere, and the wave that you initially created comes right back towards you. This demonstrates the other side of the Principle of Superposition. While waves can interact with each other to either double in size or cancel out, after the point where they interact, they separate, ideally completely unaffected by the other wave.This Principle of Superposition affects ALL waves, including vibrations and sound.If this is applied to earthquakes, it is curious to note that you can't fight an earthquake with an earthquake without creating an earthquake 180o out of phase at the exact epicenter of the earthquake, which is quite improbable. The worse that could happen would be that the earthquake created would become in-phase with the first earthquake, doubling the strength of the first earthquake.All of this is ideal, which means I discount acceleration due to gravity, friction, air resistance, and I assume a constant tension of the jump rope in question.
What are the 2 subtypes of surface wave?
well one is a water Waves, that i know for sure and the other is rope Waves, pretty sure but i could be wrong about that one
How could two waves on a rope interfere so that the rope didn't move at all?

What do you call waves in a rope?
rope waves.
How does transverse waves move?
When you make a wave on a rope, the wave moves from one end of the rope to the other. But the rope itself moves up and down or from side to side, at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels. Waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel are called transverse waves. Transverse means "across". As a transverse wave moves, the particles of the medium move across, or at right angle to, the direction of the wave.
Can transverse waves be produced on a rope?
Lay a long length of rope on the ground, straight out. Grab one end and jerk it upward and downward. A wave will pass down towards the other end of the rope, this is a transverse wave.

Why waves in a rope are called transverse wave?
ts of the rope vibrate movements to the direction in which the waves travel
Waves on a rope and light waves are two examples of longitudinal waves?
false
Waves on a rope and light waves are two examples of longitudinal waves.?
true
Are waves on a rope and light waves are two examples of longitudinal waves.?
false
Are waves on a rope and light waves are two examples of longitudinal waves?
No, neither are examples of longitudinal waves. Sound waves and compression waves in a spring are longitudinal waves. With light and rope waves, the axis of movement is 90 degrees to the direction of propagation, they are both transverse waves.
Are waves in a rope called transverse waves because the segments of the rope vibrate in the direction in which the waves travel?
No. "Transverse" means that the vibration is at right angles to the direction in which the wave advances.
