What type of seismic wave arrives after an earthquake?
A seismic wave travels through the Earth's layers, after a volcano, explosion, or earthquake. Transverse, compressional, longitude, and shear waves are all types of seismic waves after earthquakes.
What is a type of wave that travels through earth's interior?
A seismic wave, or an earthquake.
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 type of seismic waves cannot be detected on the side of Earth opposite an earthquake?
The type of wave that cannot be detected on the other side of Earth is a secondary wave also known as a s 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).
What do type of wave do earthquake produce?
Seismic waves.
What type of wave does an earthquake make?
seismic waves and pressure waves it depends on intensity of the earthquake
What type of seismic wave arrives after an earthquake?
A seismic wave travels through the Earth's layers, after a volcano, explosion, or earthquake. Transverse, compressional, longitude, and shear waves are all types of seismic waves after earthquakes.
Are plate tectonics moving a type of seismic activity?
YES.
What is a type of wave that travels through earth's interior?

When an earthquake strikes which type of seismic wave causes the most destruction?
Surface waves
What is the seismic zone type classification of Charleston WV?
A seismic zone is defined as a region in which the rate of seismic activity is fairly consistent The Seismic zone for Charleston WV is in Zone 1.
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.
What type of map would be the most useful to a scientist studying earthquake?
seismic hazard map
After an earthquake which type of seismic wave arrives second at a seismometer?
S waves arrive second after an earthquake.
Which type of seismic waves will reach a nearby city first when an earthquake occurs?
Primary and secondary waves.
What is the type of earthquake wave that pushes and pulls rock in the direction it is traveling is the?
P or primary seismic wave.
