Primary waves, or P-waves, are the type of seismic waves that can travel through all states of matter, including solids, liquids, and gases. They are compressional waves that move by alternately compressing and expanding the material through which they travel. This ability to move through different states of matter distinguishes P-waves from secondary waves (S-waves), which can only propagate through solids.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Which earthquake waves travel through matter with a push pull motion?
Primary (P) waves, also known as compressional waves, travel through matter with a push-pull motion. These waves are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
Can Seismic waves travel through space?
NO! Seismic waves can't travel through space. They are mechanical waves. Mechanical waves require going through mediums and there isn't a medium in space.
Through what do seismic waves travel fastest?
seismic wave travels faster through solid rock and slower through water, but i dont know why!
The seismic waves that travel through Earths interior are waves.?
body waves
These waves originate at the focus and can travel through all tyes of matter?
Seismic p
What state of matter do P and S waves travel through?
P waves can travel through all types of matter. S waves can only travel through solids.
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 does seismic?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
Which type of wave travels by pushing and pulling on the matter it travels through?
Mechanical waves travel by pushing and pulling on the matter they travel through. Sound waves and seismic waves are examples of mechanical waves.
Where do seismic travel through?
the ground
Which earthquake waves travel through matter with a push pull motion?
Primary (P) waves, also known as compressional waves, travel through matter with a push-pull motion. These waves are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
Can Seismic waves travel through space?
NO! Seismic waves can't travel through space. They are mechanical waves. Mechanical waves require going through mediums and there isn't a medium in space.
What are waves that travel through matter called?
The type of waves that travel through matter are Electromagnetic waves.
How do sound waves travel trough matter?
Sound waves travel through the three states of matter (gas, liquid and solid) by vibrations.
Through what do seismic waves travel fastest?
seismic wave travels faster through solid rock and slower through water, but i dont know why!
Do seismic waves need a medium to travel through?
Seismic, or earthquake waves travel through the earth. They may travel through our crust, which is rocky, or through the more fluid parts, like the mantle, but the medium is the earth.
