Which earthquake waves travel through matter with a push pull motion?
P-waves.
What is a seismic monitor?
A machine or program to measure seismic waves that travel through the earth after an earthquake or explosion.
What direction will earthquake waves travel?
Earthquake waves travel in all directions.
Is it true that seismic waves are vibrations that travel through earth as the result of earthquakes?
yes
What is an swave?
An S-wave is a secondary wave that comes after P-waves, and can travel only through solids.
What are earthquake generated waves called?
Earthquake generated waves are called seismic waves. These are waves of energy that travel through the Earth's layers. Their velocity depends on the elasticity and density of the medium that they travel through.
What do earthquake waves travel through?
earthquake waves travel through the earths crust.
What type of earthquake wave could travel through a vacuum?
Since an earthquake or seismic wave is a pressure or force wave (like sound waves), it requires a material in which to propagate. So, no earthquake waves can travel through a vacuum.
The vibrations that travel out from the center of an earthquake are called?
seismic waves
What cause earthquake waves to change direction as they travel through Earth?
by their boundaries
What earthquake waves travel through solids?
P waves or primary waves.
Do seismic waves need a medium to travel through?
Seismic, or earthquake waves travel through the earth. They may travel through our crust, which is rocky, or through the more fluid parts, like the mantle, but the medium is the earth.
What can happen to the Earth's surface when the vibrations from an earthquake travel through the crust?
hg
Which earthquake waves travel through matter with a push pull motion?
P-waves.
How does an earthquake happen in the middle of a tectonic plate?
Many earthquakes can travel through water until it hits land causing a on shore earthquake.
Vibrations that travel through Earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake?
It is a seismic wave.
What are waves generated by an earthquake that travel through earth or along its surface?
These are known as seismic waves.
