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.
Water travels in what kind of wave?
water travels as a transverse wave (meaning that the water molecules move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the path of the wave. the molecules move up and down while the wave moves in horizontal direction).
What type of electromagnetic wave can be detect?
all of them
When two tectonic plates slide past each other what happens to the crust of these plates?
When the plates slide past each other, it releases a shock wave, either a p-wave or an s-wave, and it spreads out in all directions. Sometimes it causes earthquakes.
What type of electromagnetic wave has the highest velocity?
Gamma waves have the highest frequency (and energy) of all the electromagnetic waves. Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) from outer space (and that's about all we know of them!) have extraordinary high energies, and hence frequencies.
Seismic wave?
the energy released by an earthquake that travels in all direction from the focus
How sound travels away from the source?
Sound travels in all directions. it will spread out.
Does light bounce off mirrors in all directions?
yes it does, light travels in all directions.
What kind of light travels in a straight line?
All light travels as a wave
What reflects sound waves?
Large obstacles reflects sound waves. If you shout in front of a valley the sound wave travels in all directions and is reflected by an obstacle such as a wall or a cliff.
Is the speed of a physics wave influenced by the type of matter it travels through?
Generally , all waves that are studied in physics are affected by the type of matter they travel thru.
Energy that travels by waves in all directions from its source is called?
Radiation
Energy that travels in waves in all directions from its source?
sound waves
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.
Why does the cover eventually reach a steady temperature?
Because heat travels in all directions.
What is wrong a sound travels in a straight line b sound travels as a wave c sound is a form of energy d sound travels faster in vacuum than in air?
A is wrong. B is right C is right D is wrong A: Sound travels as a wave, therefore it does not travel in a straight line. B: Sound travels in a wave. C: The sound wave is a form of energy; all waves are. D: Sound cannot travel in a vaccuum. A is not entirely wrong.
How can seismic wave be used to help scientist's know what type of material each layer of the earth is made of?
A+ answer: all waves change directions as they travel through different materials
