How do vibrations move through earth's crust?
There are three types of vibrations:- Primary waves, Secondary waves and long waves. Primary waves can move through solid and liquid. Secondary waves move through only solids and long waves can only move along the surface of the earth's crust.
Does waves move energy through space no matter what?
Because of the force that it has, (kinetic)
What are the waves that move through the Earth's crust called?
Seismic waves.
These move through earth by causing particles to move at right angles to the waves direction?
S Waves
How does energy travel during earthquakes?
There are three types of vibrations:- Primary waves, Secondary waves and long waves. Primary waves can move through solid and liquid. Secondary waves move through only solids and long waves can only move along the surface of the earth's crust.
Which is stronger p waves or s waves?
S-Waves are stronger. They are slower but can move through solids.
Can sound waves move through space?
space is a vacuum, and sound can't move through a vacuum.
Do light waves need to move through a medium?
No
How does water move as waves travel through it?
vibration
What seismic waves can not move through liquid?
Secondary
How does energy move through waves?
Basically it's the waves themselves that carry the energy.
What tpyes of materials can the three waves move through?
Primary Wave can move through solids, liquids, and gases.Primary waves are formed due to the property of materials that they respond to compressional stress. As all materials(solids, liquids and gases) respond to compressional stress, primary waves can move through all phases.Secondary Wave can move through solids, but NOT liquids and gases.Secondary waves are formed due to the property of materials responding to shear stress. As fluids do not respond to shear stress, secondary wave does not move through fluids.Surface Waves move through solids along the boundary of two layers.
