Vibrations that travel through Earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake?
Seismic waves are vibrations that travel through the Earth's layers, carrying the energy released during an earthquake. These waves can be classified into two main types: body waves that travel through the Earth's interior and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface. Seismometers are used to detect and record these waves.
How is most of the energy of an earthquake transported through the Earth's crust?
Most of the energy of an earthquake is transported through the Earth's crust in the form of seismic waves. These waves can be either body waves (P-waves and S-waves) that travel through the interior of the Earth, or surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface. The energy is gradually attenuated and dispersed as the waves propagate through the crust.
What does seismic?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
How does from an earthquake reach Earth's surface?
energy reachs earth surface through seismic waves: P waves S waves and Surface waves
How does the sun' energy travel to the earth?
Electromagnetic radiation... i.e., light. Electromagnetic Waves A+
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 Earthquakes produce that travel though Earth?
Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes and travel through the Earth. These waves can be divided into two main types: body waves (P-waves and S-waves) that travel through the interior of the Earth, and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface.
What is the medium of seismic waves?
Seismic waves travel through the Earth's interior as a form of mechanical energy. They can travel through solid rock, liquid magma, and other materials found beneath the Earth's surface.
What is the name given to the waves of energy that an earthquake produces?
The waves of energy that an earthquake produces are called seismic waves. There are two main types: body waves, which travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface.
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.
Which type of waves can travel through earth's outer cores?
Primary waves ( P-waves) can travel through earth's outer core.
What type of waves is produced during an earthquake?
Seismic waves consist ofP waves which travel through the Earth fast. They compress the medium they travel through;S waves which also travel through the Earth, shearing the solid Earth as they go. S waves do not travel through liquid;Surface waves which can cause the Earth to undulate like water waves or surface waves that cause the Earth to shear.
