How can you use 'seismic waves' in a sentence?
Seismic waves occur when there is an earthquake.
The last seismic waves to arrive are?
The last seismic waves to arrive are surface waves.
Which type of seismic waves arrives at distant points before any other seismic waves?
Primary waves are seismic waves and the arrive first after an earthquake occurs.
Which forms of matter can primary and secondary seismic waves travel through?
Primary seismic waves are longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses (although seismic waves are of to low a frequency to normally be heard). Secondary seismic waves are transverse waves and only travel through solids.
What are the first seismic waves to arrive at a seismic station?
P-waves are the first to arrive at a seismic station. There are two major types of waves: Body waves and surface waves. P-waves and S-waves come under Body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves come under surface waves. Body waves are much faster than the Surface waves. Waves are detected in the following order: P, S, Love and Rayleigh
Which type of seismic waves have particle motion in the same direction as the wave propagation?
p - these are also the fastest
What are seismic waves from the focus that are perpendicular to this motion?
secondary waves.......... i think
What are the seismic waves from the focus that are perpendicular to this motion?
secondary waves.......... i think
What are Waves that cause particle to move in the same direction of the wave?
seismic
Which direction is the particle motion in shear waves relative to the energy of the wave?
The particle motion in shear waves relative to the energy of the wave is downward.
How do seismic waves affect us?
Seismic waves affect us because they are what causes the motion from an earthquake that destroy buildings and such. The three types of seismic waves are surface waves primary waves also called P-waves and secondary waves also called S-waves.
What are three types of a mechanical wave?
There are three general types of mechanical waves: – Transverse – particle motion is perpendicular to wave motion. – Longitudinal – particle motion is in the same direction as wave motion. – Combined – sea waves.
How do scientists classify seismic waves?
The wave are classified as their motion respect to their propagation.
Seismic waves that are perpendicular to this motion?
ya mumma is so fat I run around her for exercise
What is a seismic waves from the focus that are perpindicular to this motion?
the point in the interior of earth from where earthquake is orginated .
What is seismic shaking-?
"Seismic" refers to an earthquake, so seismic shaking is the shaking motion of the earth (and things on it) caused by an earthquake. There are different waves that emanate from the hypocenter, or point of origin.
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.
