Yes, an earthquake is a mechanical wave. Movement (oscillations) in geologic formations generate mechanical energy that is transferred into surrounding rock. That mechanical energy radiates out from the focus of the quake, and we can feel or even see the effects at distance.
Yes, earthquake or seismic waves are mechanical waves.
yes but not
A specific type of mechanical wave known as a seismic wave.
the sound wave
A tidal wave is caused by an earthquake.
The P wave
I'm pretty sure that an earthquake gives off a seismic wave and that seismic wave is then written on a seismograph that tells how strong it was and what kind of wave it was. with that knowledge a scientist can estimate how far away the earthquake was when it started and where it was
A mechanical wave.
A mechanical wave requires a medium to transfer the energy it carries, unlike EMR waves. There are several types of mechanical waves, most of them being found in an earthquake. Mechanical waves are all longitudinal waves.
"Radio wave" is not like the others. "Radio wave" doesn't belong.
A mechanical wave is a disturbance (an oscillation) that moves through a medium. The source transfers mechanical energy into the medium itself, and the medium propagates the energy of the wave. Examples are sound and an earthquake, and a tsunami.
There are two types of waves, mechanical and non-mechanical waves. A mechanical wave needs some sort of medium, like an earthquake to move the water.
A specific type of mechanical wave known as a seismic wave.
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.
Sound waves, they need a medium to vibrate.A2. Earthquake waves and other mechanical waves also need a medium for their transmission.Ghv. Tsunamis are a type of mechanical wave, which is the kind of wave you're looking for.
A tidal wave is a water wave so it is a mechanical wave.
Yes, an ocean wave is a mechanical wave, since the water is the medium of the wave.
True, because mechanical waves require a medium for propagation.
An electromagnetic wave is not a mechanical wave.
