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.
What is another name for surface waves?
another name for pressure wave is a P-wave EDIT: Another name for P-waves or Pressure waves are Compressional, Longitudinal, P, Dilation waves. The particle motion is in the direction of wave propagation These waves occur in Solids, Liquids, and Gases whereas Shear, transverse, S, or equivoluminal waves only occur in solids.
Which wave the p-wave or s-wave would arrive at seismometer afer the eatrhquake?
Both, first the P wave Then the S wave.
