S waves?
seismic waves thta shakes particles at right angles to the dircetion that they travel
What are Waves that cause particle to move in the same direction of the wave?
seismic
These waves cause back and forth motion?
The type of seismic waves that cause back and forth motions are P waves. P waves cause particles in material to vibrate back and forth.
What are seismic waves that squeeze and pull rocks in the same direction that the wave tavels causing particles to move back anfd forth?
P or primary waves
What waves is a primary wave?
Cause rock particles to vibrate in same direction that waves travel
What are Seismic wave causes rock particles vibrate back and forth in the direction of the waves?
i believe it is the primary wave (p-wave)
What are seismic waves that moves rock particles at right angels to the direction of the wave?
P or Primary waves are longitudinal waves that move rock particles back and forth in the same direction that the wave travels.
Which seismic waves cause the least damage?
The Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) are the slowest moving but most damaging of the seismic waves.
What kinds of waves cause particles in rock to move at right angle to the direction of the wave?
secondary waves
What kind of waves cause particles in rocks to move at right angles to direction of the wave.?
secondary waves
What kind waves cause particles in rocks to move at right angles to the direction of the wave?
secondary waves
Why do seismic waves change speed?
"True, the Seismic Waves change speed and direction when they encounter different materials."
