What is the difference between sound waves and earthquake waves?
u figure it out dude
Is it true that the closer an earthquake the greater the time difference between the arrival of P-waves and the arrival of S-waves?
False. The closer you are to the epicentre, the smaller the time difference between the arrival of P and S-waves.
What is the difference between a tsunami and seismic waves?
tsunami's happen underwater and seismic waves happen on land or underground.
What the difference between the breaker zone and the surf?
the breaker zone is where the waves are breaking while the surf is where the waves are more calm...
What happens to The difference in arrival times between p waves And s waves as The distance From the earthquake increase?
The difference between the arrival times increases as the distance from an earthquake epicentre increases as S-waves travel more slowly than P-waves so the greater the distance the further they lag behind.
What is an explanation of difference types of wavefront?
plane waves , spherical waves , cylinderical waves
What is the difference between sound waves and earthquake waves?

What is the main difference between body waves and surface waves?
Surface waves travel slower than body waves.
Does plane polarization occur in a transverse waves?
Transverse waves can be plane-polarized; longitudinal waves can not be.
What is the difference between waves made by the breeze and waves made by a speedboat?
sound are longitudinal waves while water waves are transverse waves
What's the difference between tsunami and tidal wave?
There is not any difference between tidal waves and tsunamis, except for that cyclones are high waves accompanied with heavy rain wheras tsunamis are only waves.
What is the difference between sound waves and vibrations?
Sound waves are resulted due to vibrations.

What is one major difference between electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium to travel, where electromagnetic waves do not.
Why are plane waves are called plane?
Plane waves travel parallel to each other in the same plane hence the name.
What is the difference between the sound waves and ultrasound?
Difference is in their frequency, audible sound waves is between 12 Hz and 20,000 Hz, Ultrasound waves is any sound that has a frequency beyond the 20,000 Hz limit
Is it true that the closer an earthquake the greater the time difference between the arrival of P-waves and the arrival of S-waves?
False. The closer you are to the epicentre, the smaller the time difference between the arrival of P and S-waves.
