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 wave causes rock particles vibrate back and forth in the direction of the waves?
i believe it is the primary wave (p-wave)
What are seismic P-waves?
A pressure, or a compressional, wave in which a disturbance vibrates materials back and forth in the same direction as the direction of wave movement.P-waves are also called primary waves, they are a kind of vibration in the Earth's crust, that result from fault movements that cause earthquakes.The P wave is a longitudinal wave or a compressionwave. The force is applied in the direction that the wave is travelling. The ground must move in that direction. Ground or earth is pretty incompressible, so the energy is transferred pretty quickly.
What is a p wave?
A p wave is the primary or compression wave in a seismic wave. it's wavy
Is surface wave faster then a p wave?
no a p wave is faster than s wave
How do rock particles move during the passage of a P wave through rock?
A P wave is a type of seismic wave that is caused by an earthquake. P waves are the first seismic waves felt during an earthquake. When the P wave moves, rock particles move back and forth along the direction of the P wave.
How do particles move when a mechanical wave passes through them?
A P wave is a type of seismic wave that is caused by an earthquake. P waves are the first seismic waves felt during an earthquake. When the P wave moves, rock particles move back and forth along the direction of the P wave.
How do the particles move in the ground when p waves pass through it?
P waves are longitudinal mechanical waves which are formed from alternating compressions and rarefactions. In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.The particles do not move with the wave; they simply oscillate back and forth about their individual equilibrium positions. Thus particles in the ground move or vibrate along or parallel to the traveling direction of the P wave when it passes through them..
How do rock particles move during the passage of a P wave through the wave?
back and forth parallel to the direction of wave travel
What are seismic waves that moves rock particles at right angels to the direction of the wave?
P or Primary waves are longitudinal waves that move rock particles back and forth in the same direction that the wave travels.
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
How do surface waves particles move?
, ,p,;p;
What is a primary wave or p-wave?
Cause rock particles to vibrate in same direction that waves travel
What are Seismic wave causes rock particles vibrate back and forth in the direction of the waves?
i believe it is the primary wave (p-wave)
What direction does a P-wave move?
It moves like an acordian in and out ................. :D :P :):( :p

Which waves s-waves or p-waves reach a seismograph first why?
The Pressure wave is a longitudinal wave - it is a compression/rarefaction wave and has the highest velocity.The Secondary wave is a transverse wave (side to side) and is much slower.
