What do body waves of an earthquake consist of?
It consist two types of waves primary waves and secondary waves.
Are tsunamis just one wave?
Not usually. A tsunami can consist of thee or more waves.
Which are more destructive body waves or surface waves?
Surface waves.
Is a P-wave a body wave?
Yes. In a seismic context, P and S waves are body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves are surface waves.
The seismic waves that travel through Earths interior are waves.?
body waves
What do body waves of an earthquake consist of?

What do waves consist of?
Waves consist of electric and magnetic field waves.
What do seismic waves consist of?
Surface Waves
What does human body consist of?
what does the ody consist of? what does the body consist of?
What waves are produced by earthquakes?
Earthquakes produce "seismic" waves. These can be split into two main types: Body Waves and Surface Waves. Body waves consist of P-waves (compression or longitudinal waves) and S-waves (shear or transverse waves). P-waves can go through solid, liquid, and gas forms but S waves can only travel through solids. The P waves reach seismic stations quicker than S waves as they travel at a greater speed. Surface waves travel more slowly than Body waves and there are two main types: The Rayleigh and Love wave.
What are the three categories of seismic waves?
p wave comes first s wave comes next and last comes surface wave.
All waves consist of a continuous series of?
pulses
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
What is a seismic wave that travels through the earths interior?
body waves
What is the main difference between body waves and surface waves?
Surface waves travel slower than body waves.
What are the kinds of waving?
There are two basic types of waves : transverse and longitudinal. Transverse waves are like a wavy line. They consist of a single pulse of energy moving in a curved and wavy way. Light waves are transverse. Longitudinal waves consist of rarefactions and compressions. In a rarefaction, the particles are very sparse. In a compression, the particles are very dense. Sound waves are longitudinal.
The waves of energy that an earthquake produces?
Earthquakes produce "seismic" waves. These can be split into two main types: Body Waves and Surface Waves.
