A seismic wave is a mechanical wave - similar to a sound. Basically, the energy of the wave is propagated by groups of atoms hitting into the next group of atoms.

What are forms of energy that are produced at an earthquake's point of origin and travel outward?
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 are earthquake generated waves called?
Earthquake generated waves are called seismic waves. These are waves of energy that travel through the Earth's layers. Their velocity depends on the elasticity and density of the medium that they travel through.
Seismic waves carry what of an earthquake?
energy
How is energy released during earthquakes travels in seismic waves?
Seismic waves are the forms of energy produced by an earthquake.
What forms of energy are produced at an earthquakes point of origin and travel outward?
Seismic waves are the forms of energy produced by an earthquake.
What form of energy are produced at an earthquakes point of origin and travel outward?
Seismic waves are the forms of energy produced by an earthquake.
What is a wave of energy released from an earthquake?
The seismic or shock energy that travels through Earth away from an earthquake is a form of mechanical energy. Mechanical energy applies force to materials. That's what seismic energy does in moving rocks in the earth's crust.
What does seismic?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
What do you call the waves of energy formed by an earthquake?
Potential energy is transformed into seismic waves during an earthquake :)
Earthquake release energy in the form of?
seismic waves
The energy of an earthquake called seismic waves originates from a point called the?
the energy of an earthquake, called seismic waves,originates from a point called the ? epicenter
