What is a seismic wave that travels through the earths interior?
body waves
What type of seismic wave are P waves and S waves?
P and S waves are body waves.
Which type of seismic waves travel through earth?
A Body Wave.
Are shear waves and seismic waves the same?
A shear wave is a type of seismic wave.
What type of wave is the fastest?
The fastest wave is the electromagnetic wave. Of the seismic waves, the P-wave is the fastest seismic wave.
Type of wave generated by an earthquake?
Seismic waves are generated by earthquakes. These can be further divided into surface (Rayleigh and Love) waves and body waves (P and S wave).
Which wave is a body wave?
A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface. P and S waves are body waves. Each type of wave shakes the ground in different ways.
Which seismic wave type arrives first during an earthquake?
The P Waves. Then the S Waves.
What do type of wave do earthquake produce?
Seismic waves.
Which seismic waves make the ground roll like ocean waves?
Rayleigh waves which are a type of seismic surface wave.
Kind of wave released during an wave?
Earthquake waves are called seismic waves.
Is a P-wave a body wave?
Yes. In a seismic context, P and S waves are body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves are surface waves.
