Which earthquake waves are horizontal?
L-wave
How do l waves move?
The particle motion of a Love wave forms a horizontal circle or ellipse moving in the direction of propagation.
What damage do p waves cause?
P waves typically cause little to no damage when it comes to buildings, because buildings are usually built to withhold a back-and-forth motion (being the most common motion). I hope this helps. :)
What are the properties of p and s waves?
P waves: move rock back and forth between a squeezed position, stretched position as they travel through it, travel through solids liquids and gases, fastest seismic waves, always travel ahead of other seismic waves, first seismic waves to be detected S waves: shear rock back and forth as they travel through it, can be deformed from side to side, when rock springs back from being deformed Swaves are created, second fastest seismic waves, shearing stretches parts of rock sideways from other parts Hope this hellped:-)
What can a siesmic wave do if it can travel through liquids gases and solids in the continental and or oceanic crust?
First we must define seismic waves, it consists in two forms, P-waves (longitudinal/compressional waves) and S-waves (traverse or shear waves), P-waves travel faster than S-waves and can pass through solids and liquids of the Earth's inner parts, however, they do least damage due to the way they move (up/down). S-waves, however, do the most damage, they move sideways and has a large amplitude and thus does the main damages earthquakes; nevertheless they do not travel through liquids. Therefore, seismic waves that travel through the Earth's crust does no damage as even close to the surface, the P-waves are virtually safe, travelling a long way, it runs out of energy.
Which light waves will be able to pass through?
horizontal waves only
What are horizontal movements of water?
Currents, tides, and waves are horizontal water movements.
Which earthquake waves are horizontal?
L-wave
What is the flat horizontal line that separates the various waves of the ECG cycle?
its a flat horizontal line separator....
What is the art of shaping and directing the hair into alternate parallel waves and desighn is?
finger waves
What is the horizontal distance between 2 waves or 2 crests?
wavelength
Why are the waves longitudinal in fluids?
because the surface of water is horizontal and not vertical.........................
If light is passed through the following polarizing filter which light waves will be able to pass through?
horizontal waves only
What do vertical and horizontal surface waves have in common?
Both waves travel along Earth's surface and decrease in amplitude with depth below the surface.
How do you demonstrate transverse waves?
Water waves are known as transverse waves because the motion of the water is up and down, or at right angles to the direction in which the waves are traveling. You can see this by observing a cork bobbing up and down on water as the waves pass by; the cork moves very little in a sideways direction.
What do you call the horizontal distance between the highest or lowest points of two successive waves?
The crest?
What are Love waves?
Love waves are a type of seismic wave known (along with Rayleigh waves) as surface waves. These cause horizontal shearing of the ground. They are named after A.E.H. Love, a British mathematician who created a mathematical model of the waves in 1911. They are slightly slower than Rayleigh waves.
