The 3 seizmic waves are primary or P-wave, secondary or S-wave and surface or L-wave. P-waves expand and compress material. Particles around the wave vibrate and the P-wave is the fastest wave out of the 3. S-waves travel through the ground perpendicular to the forward motion. these waves are slower than P-waves and these waves travel through solids only! L-waves are the most desructive wave. once you know where this guy hits you know where the epicenter of an earthquake is. L-waves are the combination of P- and S-waves.
What else can I help you with?
What would happen if the earth rotate on its axis but continued to revolve around the sun?
Seizmic waves would formed around the earth creating a mass electic energy expanding the earths cores simulataneously causing a mass chain reaction of explosions eventually destroying the earth.
What are the three different types of waves?
The three different types of waves are mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves, and matter waves.
What three waves are shown on a seismogram?
The three waves that are shown on a seismogram in order are P waves, S waves, and surface waves.
What are the three seismic waves?
They are P Waves S Waves and Surface Waves.
What are three categories of seismic waves?
Surface waves, P-waves, and S-waves.
Are the three types of seismic waves the same?
no, there are p-waves, s-waves, surface waves
What are three types of earthquake waves?
P-waves, S-waves and surface waves (Love and Rayleigh waves).
What do water waves light waves sound waves transfer?
Energy is transferred by all these three types of waves. The media for these three are water, space and air respectively.
What are the different types of earthquakes waves?
The three types of earthquake waves are primary waves, surface waves, and secondary waves.
What are the three electromagnetic waves in the home?
micro waves, gamma rays, and heat waves
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
What are the three features of waves that are used to measure them?
The three features of waves includes the wavelength, amplitude, and frequency.
