What type of seismic wave arrives after an earthquake?
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.
How can you use 'seismic waves' in a sentence?
Seismic waves occur when there is 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 the connection between seismic waves and an earthquake?
A seismic wave is created by a earthquake.
How does a seismic wave relate to an earthquake?
Seismic waves are the waves of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the earth or an explotion.
What waves does an earthquake do?
Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes
What types of waves are created in an earthquake?
seismic
Explain why longitudinal and transverse waves are named the way they are?
Longitudinal waves that are produced by earthquake are called primary waves because they are detected by seismometers before the other types of seismic waves due to their higher velocity which means they travel from the epicentre of an earthquake to the seismic station more quickly than the other types of seismic waves.
What types of waves are produced by waves and explosions?
seismic waves
How is energy released during earthquakes travels in seismic waves?
Seismic waves are the forms of energy produced by an earthquake.
What Movement of the faults produces which kind of energy waves?
the waves caused by an earthquake are called seismic waves
What kind of movements is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves?
P waves - compress and expand the ground like a Accordion S waves - vibrate from side to side as well as up and down Surface waves - make the ground roll like ocean waves The Earthquake is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves.
Identify which seismic waves cause most of the damage during an earthquake?
Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes, rather than the cause of them! The most damaging seismic waves are the surface waves of which there are two types. Love waves and Rayleigh waves. For more information, please see the related links and question.
What wave is a wave of energy produced at the focus of an earthquake?
A seismic wave. If the earthquake occurs under water, the seismic waves can produce waves in the water called tsunami.
What kind of movement is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves?
P waves - compress and expand the ground like a Accordion S waves - vibrate from side to side as well as up and down Surface waves - make the ground roll like ocean waves The Earthquake is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves.
What types of waves are produced by earthquakes and explosions?
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.
