What are the two categories of seismic waves?
The two main categories of seismic waves are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the Earth.
How do surface waves differ form body waves?
Body waves: seismic waves that travel through the body of a medium Surface waves: seismic waves that travel along the surface of a medium and have a strong effect near the surface of the medium than it has in the interior
Answers for the tests?
Which of the following is correct with respect to seismic waves? (1 point)The fastest waves are S-waves, followed by P-waves, and then surface waves.Both primary and secondary waves are seismic waves, but surface waves are not seismic waves.Primary waves can travel through solids and liquids. Secondary waves can ony travel through solids.Primary waves are the most destructive because of their circular and rolling motion on Earth's surface.
What Earthquakes produce that travel though Earth?
Earthquakes produce seismic waves that travel through the Earth.
What do earthquakes produce that travel through Earth?
Seismic waves
What kind of waves can travel through earth and along earths surface?
The wave that can travel through earth and along earths surface is a SEISMIC wave.
What are waves that travel at the surface of the earth?
The seismic waves that travel along Earth;'s surface are infact known as "surface waves" of which there are two main types - Love and Rayleigh waves.
Does a surface wave go through the body of the earth or along the surface?
Surface waves (as the name suggests) travel along Earth's surface. Seismic waves that travel through earth's interior are known instead as body waves.

What are waves generated by an earthquake that travel through earth or along its surface?
These are known as seismic waves.

The seismic waves that travel along Earth's surface and produce the most severe ground movements are called .?
Surface waves-Ava :)
What does seismic?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
What are the seismic waves of the Earth's crust?
Rock under stress breaks at the focus, releasing energy and vibrations called seismic waves, which travel away from the focus, through Earth's interior, and across the surface. The three types of seismic waves are: Primary waves: The first to arrive at seismographs Secondary waves: The second to arrive at seismographs Surface waves: The last and most severe to arrive at seismographs
Seismic waves travel through?
The Surface Of The Earth (The Ground) and though the centre of the Earth. Hey are pressure waves like sound waves.
What seismic wave is found at the surface of the earth?
Rock under stress breaks at the focus, releasing energy and vibrations called seismic waves, which travel away from the focus, through Earth's interior, and across the surface. The three types of seismic waves are: Primary waves: The first to arrive at seismographs Secondary waves: The second to arrive at seismographs Surface waves: The last and most severe to arrive at seismographs
