What is the biggest seismic wave?
The biggest seismic waves are surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface and are usually the most destructive during an earthquake. The two main types of surface waves are Rayleigh waves and Love waves. Rayleigh waves cause the ground to move elliptically in vertical and horizontal directions, while Love waves cause horizontal shearing motion.
What seismic wave causes the most damage?
Seismic wave
What can locate a seismic wave?
A seismograph can locate a seismic wave.
What is the definition of Pwaves?
A Pwave is the first wave to arrive during an earthquake, P waves compress and then expand. They can damage buildings.
What type of wave is the fastest?
The fastest wave is the electromagnetic wave. Of the seismic waves, the P-wave is the fastest seismic wave.
How do you stop a seismic wave?
You need a shotgun and shoot the wave and that's how you stop a seismic wave
Are shear waves and seismic waves the same?
A shear wave is a type of seismic wave.
Which type of a wave is a surface wave?
a seismic wave
Which earthquake wave is not a seismic wave?
the sound wave
What is a seismic wave that causes particules of rock to vibrate in the same direction which the wave is moving?
That would be a P-wave or Primary wave which is a longitudinal seismic wave.
Can there be a seismic wave without having 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.
What is the seismic wave that travel's through the earths interior?
A body wave is a seismic wave that travels through Earths interior.
