What earthquake waves travel through solids?
P waves or primary waves.
What are earthquake generated waves called?
Earthquake generated waves are called seismic waves. These are waves of energy that travel through the Earth's layers. Their velocity depends on the elasticity and density of the medium that they travel through.
Which earthquake waves travel through matter with a push pull motion?
P-waves.
What are the waves of force called that travel through Earth as a result of an earthquake?
Seismic Waves.
What type of earthquake wave could travel through a vacuum?
Since an earthquake or seismic wave is a pressure or force wave (like sound waves), it requires a material in which to propagate. So, no earthquake waves can travel through a vacuum.
What are waves generated by an earthquake that travel through earth or along its surface?
These are known as seismic waves.
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.
Can earthquakes travel through liquids and solids?
Earthquakes can only happen in solids. Earthquake waves are a different matter:p-waves can travel through both solids and liquidss-waves can only travel through solidssurface waves (e,g, Rayleigh waves, Love waves) can only travel on the surface of solidsetc.
What cause earthquake waves to change direction as they travel through Earth?
by their boundaries
Do earthquake P-waves travel in straight lines?
Earthquake P-waves don't travel in straight lines, they travel in like a circle after the earthquake has struck. These P-waves arrive first during an earthquake.
What layer of earth will waves travel through faster?
The mantle of course.....because sound waves travel through liquid like surfaces better than solid rock.
What direction will earthquake waves travel?
Earthquake waves travel in all directions.
