A portion of the ocean floor moves rapidly downward what type of wave would it produce?
Such a displacement of water could lead to a tsunami also known as a seismic sea wave.
What is a wave of energy released from an earthquake?
The seismic or shock energy that travels through Earth away from an earthquake is a form of mechanical energy. Mechanical energy applies force to materials. That's what seismic energy does in moving rocks in the earth's crust.
What is an antonym for seismic wave?
no
What is the biggest seismic wave?
the biggest wave is a pwave or primary wave
Which seismic wave arrives last at a seismograph station?
The first waves to arrive at a seismograph station are primary waves, or P waves.
What does seismic sea wave mean?
Its the same as a tsunami.
Is a surface wave a type of wave?
It is a type of mechanical wave known as a seismic wave.
A portion of the ocean floor moves rapidly downward what type of wave would it produce?
Such a displacement of water could lead to a tsunami also known as a seismic sea wave.
Is a P-wave a seismic wave?
Yes. P-waves are known as primary waves and are a compressional or longitudinal wave.
Longitudinal seismic wave are known as?
The Answer is primary waves.
What can locate a seismic wave?
A seismograph can locate a seismic wave.
What seismic wave causes the most damage?
Seismic wave
What is the definition of seismic wave?
Seismic Waves - are mechanical vibrations that occur inside the Earth caused by the breaking of rocks.
What type of wave is the fastest?
The fastest wave is the electromagnetic wave. Of the seismic waves, the P-wave is the fastest seismic wave.
Can a large ship ride over a seismic sea wave without anyone noticing it?
Yes
How do you stop a seismic wave?
You need a shotgun and shoot the wave and that's how you stop a seismic wave
What can result if an earthquake causes a sudden vertical change in the sea floor?
The direction of the tsunami will be determined by the magnitude of the earthquake.
