What makes waves small?
Very small seismic activity causes small waves to occur. The bigger the waves get the larger the seismic activity is.
How do seismic waves affect us?
Seismic waves affect us because they are what causes the motion from an earthquake that destroy buildings and such. The three types of seismic waves are surface waves primary waves also called P-waves and secondary waves also called S-waves.
What plate boundary causes seismic waves?
Destructive plate boundary.
What causes a seismic wave?
things that can cause seismic waves are earthquackes
What natural event causes seismic waves to travel through the Earth?
Earthquakes
What causes seismic waves to travel through layers of The earth?
By being cool.
Is seismic waves and earthquake waves the same?
Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.
What is a seismograph and what causes it?
a seismograph is a device that records ground movements caused by seismic waves
What seismic wave travels at the lowest rate but causes most destruction?
surface waves
When an earthquake strikes which type of seismic wave causes the most destruction?
Surface waves
What does seismic?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
What is the connection between seismic waves and an earthquake?
Seismic waves are energy waves produced by an earthquake as it generates stress and releases energy along fault lines. These waves travel through the Earth and can be recorded by seismographs, helping scientists study the size, location, and characteristics of the earthquake. By analyzing seismic waves, geologists can understand the underlying causes of an earthquake and assess potential risks for future seismic activity.
