How does a seismic wave relate to an earthquake?
Seismic waves are the waves of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the earth or an explotion.
What name do we give to the sections of the earth where no seismic waves can travel?
It's the focus
Is a seismic wave a wave of energy produced at the focus of an earthquake as elastic strain is released?
Secondary wave (s wave )
What direction do seismic waves move?
S waves shear rock back and forth as they travel through it.
What is glkm in seismic?
GLKM - is just km (kilometer), for 2D seismic - liner kilometer (of seismic profile)

What is Focus in Geography?
In geography, focus refers to the central point of interest or location within a study area. It helps to define the scope and boundaries of a geographic study and determines where attention and research efforts will be concentrated. The focus is important for conducting research, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions about a specific geographic phenomenon or area.
In what diection does a seismic wave travel?
Seismic waves travel in all directins radiating out from the Earthquake's epicenter and/or focus.
When do seismic waves occur?
when an earthquake occurs
Does the focus or the epicenter send seismic waves out in all directions?
yes
What are seismic waves from the focus that are perpendicular to this motion?
secondary waves.......... i think
What is the main idea of seismic waves carry the energy of an earthquake?
Focus
Seismic from the focus that are compressional?
Called Primary, or P, waves :3
What are the seismic waves from the focus that are perpendicular to this motion?
