Seismic waves are the waves of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the earth or an explotion.
A seismic wave travels through the Earth's layers, after a volcano, explosion, or earthquake. Transverse, compressional, longitude, and shear waves are all types of seismic waves after earthquakes.
The first shock wave of an earthquake is known as the P-wave or primary wave. It is the fastest seismic wave and can travel through both solid and liquid materials. P-waves are responsible for the initial jolt felt during an earthquake.
A wave of energy released from an earthquake is called a seismic wave. Seismic waves can be classified into body waves, which travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface. These waves are responsible for causing the ground shaking and damage associated with earthquakes.
Yes, a seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through the Earth's crust as a result of an earthquake. It is produced when the stored elastic strain in rocks is released, causing vibrations that propagate through the Earth in the form of waves.
The seismic wave that travels really fast is the primary or P-wave. P-waves are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They are the first waves recorded on seismographs during an earthquake.
the sound wave
Its vibrations.
A seismic wave. If the earthquake occurs under water, the seismic waves can produce waves in the water called tsunami.
seismic waves are a result of earthquakes
amplitude of an earthquake
It is possible to have a seismic wave without having an earthquake. Any wave moving through the ground is a seismic wave, and all earthquakes are seismic waves. But seismic waves can be created by volcanic action, landslides, meteor strikes or the like. Though all earthquakes are seismic waves, not all seismic waves are earthquakes.
I'm pretty sure that an earthquake gives off a seismic wave and that seismic wave is then written on a seismograph that tells how strong it was and what kind of wave it was. with that knowledge a scientist can estimate how far away the earthquake was when it started and where it was
