What else can I help you with?
Which kind of seismic wave cannot pass through water?
The S-wave.
Is a earthquake s wave a transverse wave?
Yes, an earthquake S-wave (secondary wave) is a transverse wave. It causes particles to move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. S-waves are slower than the primary P-waves but can cause more damage due to their side-to-side motion.
What will happen if a P wave and an S wave combine?
When a P wave and an S wave combine, they can create a new type of seismic wave called a surface wave. Surface waves travel along the Earth's surface and can cause the most damage during an earthquake due to their slower speed and larger amplitudes compared to P and S waves.
The frequency of a wave is measured with the unit which is?
Hertz, abbreviated Hz. In unit analysis, this can also be written as 1/s, s standing for seconds.
What is a wave of energy produced at the earthquake's focus?
therre is more than one wave, it could be a surface wave, or an s wave or p wave
Which wave does most damage p wave or s wave?
A p wave because it can move so fast with more force. P waves cause little damage, they are compressional waves. They are at a higher frequency and a lower amplitude than surface waves which are shear waves. S-waves cause the most damage because they are slow moving and have an amplitude much greater than P-waves.
What angles does an s wave move?
Secondary waves, or S waves move from side to side, or up and down.
How does a wave look when caused by electricity?
The wave that is created by alternating current (the kind that is found in a standard wall socket) is called a SINE wave. It looks like the letter S when turned on it's side ( a horizontal S). It can be viewed on an instrument called an Oscilloscope.
What does the s in s-wave mean?
Surface Wave(:
Which type of body wave always arrives after the P-wave?
The next type of seismic wave to arrive after the P-wave is the S-wave.
Which wave the p-wave or s-wave would arrive at seismometer afer the eatrhquake?
Both, first the P wave Then the S wave.
What does the s stand for in s waves?
S-wave stands for : Secondary wave. It comes after the P-wave and goes before the L-wave.
