What Type of wave that compresses like an accordion?
P wave
Which type of wave travels the fastest?
Electromagnetic waves travel the fastest, at the speed of light in a vacuum, 3.0 x 108 m/s.
What type of wave causes the ground to shake in a motion parallel to the focus moving straight away from epic center?
p-wave
How do particles move when a mechanical wave passes through them?
A P wave is a type of seismic wave that is caused by an earthquake. P waves are the first seismic waves felt during an earthquake. When the P wave moves, rock particles move back and forth along the direction of the P wave.
What type of wave has movement that is parallel to the direction of the wave?
This is a longitudinal wave or a P-wave (primary wave), called so because it travels faster than a transverse wave, which moves at right angles to the direction the wave travels.
Which type of body wave always arrives after the P-wave?
The next type of seismic wave to arrive after the P-wave is the S-wave.
What type of wave is P wave?
Body Waves
What is the fastest type of siesmic wave?
Primary Wave (P wave)
What type of waves are there?
p-wave s-wave l-wave
What Type of wave that compresses like an accordion?
P wave
Which seismic wave type arrives first during an earthquake?
The P Waves. Then the S Waves.
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.
What type of seismic wave that compresses and expands the ground?
Longitudinal Waves
How do rock particles move during the passage of a P wave through rock?
A P wave is a type of seismic wave that is caused by an earthquake. P waves are the first seismic waves felt during an earthquake. When the P wave moves, rock particles move back and forth along the direction of the P wave.
What type of earthquake wave travels in a push and pull movement?
The Primary or P-wave which is a type of compression or longitudinal wave travels with a push and pull movement.
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.
What type of seismic wave are P waves and S waves?
P and S waves are body waves.
