What else can I help you with?
What are the three categories of seismic waves?
p wave comes first s wave comes next and last comes surface wave.
How many types or surface waves are there?
i think 2?
What general name is given to waves that travel along the surface of a material such as Rayleigh and Love waves?
Surface waves
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
What type of seismic waves causes the worst damage?
There are P waves, S waves, and Surface waves [coming in that order]. The P waves are that half second jolt, the S waves are the 2-10 second rumbles, and the Surface waves go crazy and cause the most damage.
Do p waves or surface waves move faster?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
What are an example of surface wave?
Examples of surface waves include water waves on the ocean's surface, seismic surface waves that travel along the earth's surface during an earthquake, and electromagnetic waves that propagate along the boundaries between different materials.
What are the three seismic waves in order?
The three types of seismic waves are: P waves S waves Surface waves ( two surface waves. Riley surface wave and love surface wave named after scientists
Where do surface waves occur?
Surface waves occur at the boundary between two different mediums, such as air and water, or air and land. They travel along the interface, transferring energy in the form of ripples or undulations on the surface. Examples of surface waves include ocean waves, seismic waves, and electromagnetic waves.
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.
Where do waves occurs?
surface waves occur on the surface its visible to people and people can surface
What does surface waves travel through?
surface waves can only travel along the surface.
