What happens to the time difference between primary and secondary waves as the distance traveled gets longer?
the secondary wave breaks up
What are 3 types of waves when an earthquake happens?
they are primary, secondary, and surface waves
What earthquakes travel through the earth's mantle?
Primary waves and secondary waves (body waves). Love waves and rayleigh waves (surface waves) do not travel through the earth's mantle. Though secondary waves do not go through liquids, the asthenosphere is only a semi-liquid, so secondary waves can still go through it.
What is rayleigh scattering?
Rayleigh waves are a type of Surface wave. Surface waves occur when Secondary waves and Primary waves reach the Surface of the Earth's crust during an earthquake. Surface waves cause the most damage.
What is a seismic wave that travels along the earth's surface?
There are two types of wave that travel along Earth's surface and they are known broadly as surface waves. These are:Love wavesRayleigh waves
What is the main difference between body waves and surface waves?
Surface waves travel slower than body waves.
What is the main difference between body wave and surface waves?
Surface waves travel slower than body waves.
Why are earthquake waves called primary secondary and surface?
Primary and secondary refer to the order in which they come out, surface waves are called surface because they resonate close to the surface
What is the difference between primary and secondary waves?
A primary wave is a strong vibration or wave that hits earths surface (P) and a secondary wave (S) is a wave that hits soon after but not nearly as big.Read more: Distinguish_between_primary_wave_and_a_secondary_wave
What do secondary waves do?
brings waves to the surface to create a earthquake
Are secondary waves faster than surface waves?
yes
What type of waves are genered by earthquakes?
Primary Waves, Secondary Waves, and Surface Waves.
What happens to the time difference between primary and secondary waves as the distance travels longer?
The secondary wave breaks up.
What happens to the time difference between primary and secondary waves as the distance traveled get longer?
the secondary wave breaks up
What are three types of waves generated by earthquakes?
Primary Waves, Secondary Waves, and Surface Waves.
What are the three diffrent kinds of seismic waves?
The three types of earthquake waves are the Primary wave the Secondary wave and the surface or Long wave
What happens to the time difference between primary and secondary waves as the distance traveled gets longer?
the secondary wave breaks up
