What does the S wave and P wave stand for?
P waves are primary waves and S waves are called secondary waves
What does the e stand for in EM waves?
EM waves stand for Electromagnetic waves.
What is the difference in speed and mode of travel between p-waves and s-waves?
P-waves stand for primary waves, but a good trick is to think of the P as standing for pressure, because P waves are compression waves. S-wave stands for secondary wave, but the trick is to think of the S as standing for shear wave. This is because S-waves move in a shearing (side to side) motion. The means that S waves cannot travel through liquid, and also travel slower than P-waves.
What does E in EM wave stand for?
EM waves stand for Electromagnetic waves.
How does an earthquake move is it like side to side or up and down?
there are p waves, s waves, and surface waves. hope this helps! ~{Kathryn}~ too add on to this p waves stand for primary waves, s waves stand for secondary waves and surface waves is just surfface waves. usually earthquakes start with a p wave then a s wave and the most violent but slowest is the surface wave hope this helps too see ya later buye bi
Seismic waves that shear rock side to side are called?
seismic waves actually the correct answer is S waves. trust me if you put seismic waves it will be wrong
Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What type of seismic wave are P waves and S waves?
P and S waves are body waves.
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
Do waves travel faster than S waves?
no p waves travel faster than s waves
Are seismic waves transverse or compressional waves?
There are 3 broad types of seismic waves, Surface waves, S-waves and P-waves. Love waves (a type of surface wave) and S-waves are transverse waves and P-waves are compressional.
What are the three categories of seismic waves?
p wave comes first s wave comes next and last comes surface wave.
