What type instrument produce transverse wave?
If you mean sound waves, the only type of sound waves that can travel through air (or any gas, for that matter) is longitudinal waves.
Did Mississippi get hit by a tsunamis fron hurricane Katrina?
No. There were large waves, but waves produce by hurricanes and other storms, not matter how big, are not tsunamis. Tsunamis are a very different type of wave.
Which wave is a body wave?
A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface. P and S waves are body waves. Each type of wave shakes the ground in different ways.
How are surfaces different from body waves?
A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface. P and S waves are body waves. Each type of wave shakes the ground in different ways.
What type of waves do earthquakes transmit?
Seismic Waves.
Which types of seismic wave produces the most severe ground movement?
Rayleigh waves (which are a type of surface wave) produce the largest amplitude and so most severe ground movements during earthquakes.Surface waves produce the most severe ground movements. They produce movements similar to waves in the water, where the water's particles move in a pattern that is almost circular. Surface waves can make the ground roll like ocean waves or shake buildings from side to side. They move more slowly then P waves or S waves.
What type of waves can make the ground roll like ocean waves?
Primary waves
What do type of wave do earthquake produce?
Seismic waves.
What type of seismic wave can make the ground roll like ocean waves?
Primary waves
What type of tools did Gutzon Borglum use?
dynamite, jackhammers, chisels, and hammers
Which seismic waves make the ground roll like ocean waves?
Rayleigh waves which are a type of seismic surface wave.
What type instrument produce transverse wave?
If you mean sound waves, the only type of sound waves that can travel through air (or any gas, for that matter) is longitudinal waves.
What type of solar phenomenon can produce seismic waves?
solar flares
Which type of solar phenomenon can produce seismic waves?
solar flares
What type of waves move by compressing and expanding the ground like an accordion?
longitude
What type of seismic waves that arrive at the surface first and move by compressing and expanding the ground like an accordion?
P waves
The type of seismic waves that arrive at the surfaces first and move by compressing and expanding the ground like an accordion are called?
P-waves
