the outer core
What else can I help you with?
Do Secondary waves travel through the earths surface?
No, secondary waves (S-waves) cannot travel through the Earth's surface. They are a type of seismic wave that move through the Earth's interior and cannot propagate in liquids or gases, making them unable to travel through the surface.
What layer of Earth do Secondary waves NOT travel through?
Secondary waves, also known as S-waves, do not travel through the outer core of the Earth due to its liquid state. S-waves can only propagate through solid materials.
Can secondary waves travel through the center of the earth?
No, because to reach the center of the Earth, they need to pass through the outer core. Secondary waves, or S-waves, can't pass through liquids, such as the liquid outer core, so they can't thus even reach the center of the Earth.
What type of seismic wave does not travel through the core?
Surface waves, also known as Love and Rayleigh waves, do not travel through the core of the Earth. These waves move along the surface of the Earth and are responsible for the most destruction during an earthquake.
Can S waves travel through the earths mantle?
Yes, S-waves can travel through the Earth's mantle. They are secondary seismic waves that propagate by shearing the material they pass through, making them able to travel through solid materials like the mantle. However, their velocity and amplitude might change as they move through the different layers of the Earth.
What earthquakes travel through the earth's mantle?
Primary waves and secondary waves (body waves). Love waves and rayleigh waves (surface waves) do not travel through the earth's mantle. Though secondary waves do not go through liquids, the asthenosphere is only a semi-liquid, so secondary waves can still go through it.
What kind of waves can travel through earth and along earths surface?
Seismic waves are the types of waves that can travel through the Earth and along its surface. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves (such as primary and secondary waves) that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves (such as Love and Rayleigh waves) that travel along the Earth's surface.
How far does a secondary wave travel in 10 minutes?
Secondary waves, also known as S-waves, travel at about 3.7 km/s through the Earth's crust and mantle. In 10 minutes, a secondary wave would travel approximately 22,200 kilometers.
What are two types of seismic waves that travel through earth's interior?
The two types of seismic waves that travel through the Earth are P and S waves. The P wave means primary wave and the S wave is secondary. The wave that travels around the Earth's crust is the L wave, which stands for the Love wave.Hope this helps :)
What are the four kinds of waves that travel through the earth involved with earthquakes?
The Primary wave, the secondary wave, the surface wave, and the seismic wave
What type of waves move through earth by causing particles of rocks to move at right angles to the direction of the waves?
A secondary wave causes rocks to vibrate at 90 degrees. This earthquake wave can travel through solids but not through liquids, and causes rock particles to vibrate at right angles to the direction of wave travel.
Are secondary waves faster than surface waves?
Yes, secondary waves (S-waves) are faster than surface waves. S-waves are seismic waves that travel through the interior of the Earth, while surface waves travel along the Earth's surface. S-waves have higher velocities because they travel through solid material, whereas surface waves experience slower speeds as they propagate through less rigid layers.
