Which seismic travel most rapidly?
P-waves (Primary waves) are the fastest seismic waves and travel most rapidly through the Earth's crust. They are longitudinal waves that move through solid and liquid materials, causing the particles to move parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
What are seismic waves that squeeze and pull rocks in the same direction that the wave tavels causing particles to move back anfd forth?
P or primary waves
What are seismic waves that move rocks up and down like a wave in a rope?
Seismic waves that move rocks up and down like a wave in a rope are called vertical or P-waves. These waves cause particles to vibrate in the direction of wave propagation, creating compression and expansion as the wave passes through the material. P-waves are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through both solids and liquids.
Are s-waves slow or fast?
S-waves are slower than P-waves, which are the fastest seismic waves. S-waves are shear waves that move in a back-and-forth motion, causing particles to move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
What are Seismic wave causes rock particles vibrate back and forth in the direction of the waves?
Seismic waves are vibrations that travel through the Earth's layers, causing rock particles to move back and forth in the direction of the wave propagation. These waves are generated by seismic events, such as earthquakes or explosions, and carry energy that can cause shaking and deformation of the Earth's crust.
What are Waves that cause particle to move in the same direction of the wave?
seismic
S waves are longitudinal seismic waves?
This statement is incorrect. S waves are actually transverse seismic waves, meaning they move particles perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Longitudinal seismic waves are known as P waves.
Shearing seismic waves that move rocks and other matter in a direction perpendicular to the waves are traveling?
Primary waves (p waves)
What wave does matter move in the same direction as the wave travels?
seismic waves bhosdi wale
What type of waves move the particles of the medium in the same direction in which the waves are traveling?
Longitudinal waves move the particles of the medium in the same direction in which the waves are traveling. This produces a back-and-forth motion of the particles parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
What are Waves that move the particles of the wave parallel to the direction the waves are traveling are called?
the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is a waves
What Seismic waves that cause particles of rock to move in a side to side direction?
Seismic waves that cause particles of rock to move in a side-to-side direction are known as S-waves or secondary waves. These waves are a type of shear wave that travel through the Earth during an earthquake, moving perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. S-waves can only travel through solid materials, which distinguishes them from P-waves (primary waves) that can move through both solids and liquids. Their side-to-side motion is responsible for much of the shaking felt during seismic events.
Which seismic travel most rapidly?
P-waves (Primary waves) are the fastest seismic waves and travel most rapidly through the Earth's crust. They are longitudinal waves that move through solid and liquid materials, causing the particles to move parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
What are the waves in which matter moves at right angles to the direction of the wave?
Transverse waves are waves in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, electromagnetic waves, and seismic S-waves.
What move through the earth by causing particles to move at right angles to the waves direction?
S-waves which are a form of seismic wave. Seismic waves are a type of mechanical wave known as a shear or transverse wave that travel through the solid Earth (but not the liquid outer core).
What statement accurately describes longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal waves are vibrations that travel in the same direction as the wave is moving. The particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. Examples include sound waves and seismic waves.
Why do seismic waves change speed?
"True, the Seismic Waves change speed and direction when they encounter different materials."
