What are the seismic waves from the focus that are perpendicular to this motion?
secondary waves.......... i think

What seismic wave moves in a push-pull motion?
P-waves, or Primary waves, are seismic waves that move in a push-pull motion. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
What wave does not originate from the focus?
Surface waves do not originate from the focus. These waves are created when seismic energy reaches the Earth's surface and move horizontally along it, causing the ground to move in a rolling motion.
What is the underground location where seismic waves begin?
The focus
What do you call the center of a seismic wave?
The center of a seismic wave is called the focus or hypocenter. This is the point within the Earth where the seismic waves originate.
How is a focus of an earthquake related to seismic waves?
the bigger the waves the bigger the earthquake
Are focus waves vibrations that are released during an earthquake?
No, It's Seismic Waves.
What seismic wave is found at the surface of the earth?
Rock under stress breaks at the focus, releasing energy and vibrations called seismic waves, which travel away from the focus, through Earth's interior, and across the surface. The three types of seismic waves are: Primary waves: The first to arrive at seismographs Secondary waves: The second to arrive at seismographs Surface waves: The last and most severe to arrive at seismographs
When do seismic waves occur?
when an earthquake occurs
How do seismic waves affect us?
Seismic waves affect us because they are what causes the motion from an earthquake that destroy buildings and such. The three types of seismic waves are surface waves primary waves also called P-waves and secondary waves also called S-waves.
Does the focus or the epicenter send seismic waves out in all directions?
yes
