What else can I help you with?
Compressional seismic waves that moves rocks and other matter in the same direction as the waves travel?
Well, its actually kinda obvious. Its-----TROLOLOLOLO

is sunshine a compressional or transverse?
Sunshine is classified as a transverse wave because it oscillates perpendicular to the direction of its propagation, similar to light waves. Compressional waves, on the other hand, oscillate parallel to the direction of their propagation.
Is an x-ray a compressional wave?
No.An x-ray is an electromagnetic wave. The varying electric and magnetic fields of which it is composed are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation.It is a transverse wave, not compressional.
Do Compressional waves travel faster in liquids or solids?
solids because the molecules/atoms are closer to each other.
How does a compressional wave transport energy through matter?
A compressional wave transports energy through matter by causing particles in the medium to bump into each other, passing on the energy from one particle to the next. This results in a chain reaction of vibrations propagating through the medium, carrying the energy with it.
How are transverse waves and compressional waves similar and different?
transverse waves- the medium vibrates up and down, example- visible light, gamma and xrays. compression/longitudinal- move back and forth and need a medium to travel in. example- slinky.
What is matter in a compressional wave that is tightly packed together?
In a compressional wave where matter is tightly packed together, the particles within the medium are closer to each other than in a wave with lower compression. This results in higher pressure and density in the medium, allowing the wave to propagate more efficiently through the substance.
Are longitudinal and compressional waves the same thing?
No, longitudinal and compressional waves are not the same thing. Longitudinal waves are a type of mechanical wave where the particles vibrate in the same direction as the wave is traveling, such as sound waves. Compressional waves, on the other hand, are a type of longitudinal wave specifically defined as waves in which the medium's density changes.
Is a Red light a longitudinal wave?
No, a red light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which is a transverse wave. It does not require a medium to propagate and oscillates perpendicular to the direction of its travel. Longitudinal waves, on the other hand, oscillate parallel to the direction of travel.
What is compressional stress?
Compressional stress is the stress produced by two tectonic plates moving towards each other.
How can you travel through time?
you can'tAnswer:At present we all travel through time in the positive direction at the rate of 1 s.s-1. Time travel in any other direction is presently unattainable.
