What is the difference Between S waves P waves?
P-waves are faster than s-waves. Both can pass through solid rock, but only p-waves can pass through gases and liquids === ===
Why cant s-waves travel through the core and p-waves can?
P=wave is short for pressure wave. S-wave is short for shear wave. This should suggest a possible reason they behave differently in the (molten) outer core.
How much faster does p waves move than s waves?
P-waves move around 3 km/s faster than s-waves.
Do p waves s waves transverse waves or surface waves arrive first?
P waves arrive first.
Is it true that surface waves move more quickly than p and s waves?
no, p waves are the fastest followed by s waves and finally surface waves
What happens when p waves and S waves try to pass through the outer core?
s waves cant travel through it
Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What type of seismic wave are P waves and S waves?
P and S waves are body waves.
What is the difference Between S waves P waves?
P-waves are faster than s-waves. Both can pass through solid rock, but only p-waves can pass through gases and liquids === ===
What does the S wave and P wave stand for?
P waves are primary waves and S waves are called secondary waves
What happens the the p wave when they strike the inner core?
When the P wave strikes the inner core it bends and goes in a different direction.
When do P waves arrive at the surface in relation to S waves?
when the P waves arrive at the surface in relation to s waves and surface waves is called the promary waves.
What directions does P waves and S waves go?
P waves go side to side. S waves go up and down.
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What is s waves and p waves?
P-waves are faster than s-waves. Both can pass through solid rock, but only p-waves can pass through gases and liquids === ===
