What is the first shock wave of an earthquake?
The first shock wave of an earthquake is known as the P-wave or primary wave. It is the fastest seismic wave and can travel through both solid and liquid materials. P-waves are responsible for the initial jolt felt during an earthquake.
What is a sentence for secondary wave?
The secondary wave of the earthquake cause little damage, only a few buildings fell.
What is the most destructive earthquake wave?
tsunami
Is The point directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the S wave?
No, the point directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the epicenter. The S wave is one of the types of seismic waves that are generated during an earthquake and move slower than the P wave.
What is the term for a water wave that creates an underwater earthquake?
When an underwater earthquake displacing a large volume of sea water the effect could be a tsunami (tidal wave).
Which earthquake wave is not a seismic wave?
the sound wave
A combination of wave from a smaller wave?
it creates a earthquake!
What is a long wave caused by an underwater earthquake or other disturbance called?
A tidal wave is caused by an earthquake.
Which type of earthquake wave is felt second at any given location near the earthquake?
The Secondary or S-wave.
What is the first shock wave of an earthquake?
The first shock wave of an earthquake is known as the P-wave or primary wave. It is the fastest seismic wave and can travel through both solid and liquid materials. P-waves are responsible for the initial jolt felt during an earthquake.
Was the Kashmir earthquake caused by a mechanical wave or electromagnetic wave?
A mechanical wave.
What kind of earthquake wave is purely longitudinal?
The P wave
When a longitudinal wave is combined with a tranverse wave the result is?
An earthquake.
Is an earthquake wave a longitudinal ver a transverse wave?
It can be either.
What is a sentence for secondary wave?
The secondary wave of the earthquake cause little damage, only a few buildings fell.
How earthquake are located?
I'm pretty sure that an earthquake gives off a seismic wave and that seismic wave is then written on a seismograph that tells how strong it was and what kind of wave it was. with that knowledge a scientist can estimate how far away the earthquake was when it started and where it was
What wave is a wave of energy produced at the focus of an earthquake?
A seismic wave. If the earthquake occurs under water, the seismic waves can produce waves in the water called tsunami.
