∙ 13y agoIt all depends on the intensity that plates grind together with, if they grind with little force you don't get much of a seismic reaction; however if the collide with a great amount of force then there is more energy behind it causing a the powe and speed of a seismic wave to change.

What are the kinds of motion according to the change in direction and change in speed?
Acceleration is a change in speed or direction. Velocity is the speed and direction. ex. 41 mph northeast
What happens to seismic waves when they hit the MOHO?
They speed up
What must happen for an obect at rest to move or change its speed?
A force must be applied to that object according to Newton's First Law of Motion in order to change the speed and its direction.
What is ther kind of seismic wave that travels fast and increase its speed with depth?
L waves
Change in speed?
change in speed is acceleration. change in speed is the slope of the speed versus time graph, or the derivative of such.
What is the place within the earth where the speed of seismic waves increases sharply?
it is the mohorovic or the moho
What is the Place within earth where the speed of seismic waves increases sharply?
it is the mohorovic or the moho
Why do seismic waves change speed?
"True, the Seismic Waves change speed and direction when they encounter different materials."
What area do seismic waves change in speed?

In which area do seismic waves change dramatically in speed?
they use vaginas
What are the kinds of motion according to the change in direction and change in speed?
Acceleration is a change in speed or direction. Velocity is the speed and direction. ex. 41 mph northeast
What happens to seismic waves when they hit the MOHO?
They speed up
Do seismic waves speed up or slow down as they travel downward and reach the Moho?
Speed up
Seismic waves increase in speed when they enter what?
a more rigid material
What are the three types of seismic waves according to their velocity?
Seismic waves are waves that travel through the Earth or other elastic body2 to 8 kilometersThe primary factor is the composition of the rock that the wave travels through. Secondarily, temperature tends to lower the wave speed and pressure tends to increase the wave speed.
What divides the mantle and the core?
The boundary between the mantle and the outer core is a layer known as D". It is a thermal and chemical boundary where a change in speed of seismic waves has been noted.
What affects the speed of seismic waves?
The speed of seismic waves are affected by the type of material that the waves are traveling through. in other words (as an example): some type of waves can travel through rocks but not through liquids.
