Can Seismic waves travel through space?
NO! Seismic waves can't travel through space. They are mechanical waves. Mechanical waves require going through mediums and there isn't a medium in space.
How can you use 'seismic waves' in a sentence?
Seismic waves occur when there is an earthquake.
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 forms of matter can primary and secondary seismic waves travel through?
Primary seismic waves are longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses (although seismic waves are of to low a frequency to normally be heard). Secondary seismic waves are transverse waves and only travel through solids.
What is the medium of seismic waves?
earth
What is the medium for earthquake waves.?
Earth is the medium for earthquake waves.
What medium seismic waves travel through?
air
How do surface waves differ form body waves?
Body waves: seismic waves that travel through the body of a medium Surface waves: seismic waves that travel along the surface of a medium and have a strong effect near the surface of the medium than it has in the interior
What is the medium for the seismic waves?
Rock, fluids, and metals in the Earth.
Can Seismic waves travel through space?
NO! Seismic waves can't travel through space. They are mechanical waves. Mechanical waves require going through mediums and there isn't a medium in space.
What types of waves require a medium?
Mechanical waves.For example, sound waves, ocean waves, etc.Many waves need a medium to travel: sound waves, water waves, and seismic waves.Electromagnetic waves do not need a medium.
Do seismic waves need a medium to travel through?
Seismic, or earthquake waves travel through the earth. They may travel through our crust, which is rocky, or through the more fluid parts, like the mantle, but the medium is the earth.
A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave is?
Seismic. Waves. Earthquake.
What are three waves that need a medium?
I have 4 examples: tranverse longitudinal surface and torsional waves sorry :( I don't know the rest
Identify the medium for the sound waves from a stereo speaker?
The medium is the air surrounding the speaker.
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.
