Are S waves are longitudinal seismic waves?

True


S waves are longitudinal seismic waves?

This statement is incorrect. S waves are actually transverse seismic waves, meaning they move particles perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Longitudinal seismic waves are known as P waves.


Longitudinal seismic waves as known as?

Primary or P waves


Longitudinal seismic wave are known as?

The Answer is primary waves.


What are examples of longitudinal waves?

Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves, seismic waves, and sound waves in solids (such as ultrasound waves). These waves propagate by compressing and rarefying the medium in the direction of wave motion.


Are primary waves transverse or longitudinal?

Primary waves, also known as P-waves, are longitudinal seismic waves that travel through the interior of the Earth. They are the fastest seismic waves and are capable of traveling through both solids and liquids.


What statement best describes longitudinal waves?

Longitudinal waves are mechanical waves in which the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave's energy propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.


What are energy waves that are vibrations traveling through earth?

Seismic waves: longitudinal compression waves.


What are energy waves that are vibration traveling through earth?

Seismic waves: longitudinal compression waves.


Is a volcanic wave longitudinal?

There are no waves that are specifically called "volcanic waves"; however, a volcanic eruption can of course cause seismic waves. These can be longitudinal or transverse.


What are the two types of waves?

The three types of seismic waves are:P waves, S waves, and Surface waves


Is a longitudinal wave parallel?

Yes, a longitudinal wave is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. The oscillations of the particles in a longitudinal wave are parallel to the direction in which the wave moves. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
