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 type of waves are released during an earthquake?
Seismic waves are released during an earthquake of which there are two main types - surface and body waves. These in turn can be subdivided as follows:Body WavesP-wavesS-wavesSurface wavesLove wavesRayleigh waves
How many types of seismic waves are produced at the same time in an earthquake?
3 main, not sure if there's other devices. (seismoscope, seismometer, ???)
What is the sub types of seismic waves?
four types of diagnostic waves
What types of plate boundaries are associated with deep earthquakes?
All of them. For example: the earthquake of 2010 in Chile happened along a convergent fault while the 2010 earthquake in Haiti happened along a transform fault. Source: I am just a genius...
What types of waves are created in an earthquake?
seismic
What are the two types of earthquake scales?
There are two types of earthquake scales. These types of scales include the Richter scale, as well as the seismic scale.
What are the vibrations that move through the ground carrying the energy released during an earthquake called?
Seismic 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.
What types of homes were destroyed in Haiti during the earthquake?
The home that were build with bricks
What are earthquake waves?
vibration that travels through earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake.
What are the two type of scales?
There are two types of earthquake scales. These types of scales include the Richter scale, as well as the seismic scale.
Explain why longitudinal and transverse waves are named the way they are?
Longitudinal waves that are produced by earthquake are called primary waves because they are detected by seismometers before the other types of seismic waves due to their higher velocity which means they travel from the epicentre of an earthquake to the seismic station more quickly than the other types of seismic waves.
What Vibrations that move through the ground carrying the energy released during an earthquake are called .?
These are known as seismic waves - of which there are 4 types; P-waves, S-waves and Love and Rayleigh waves.
What type of waves are released during an earthquake?
Seismic waves are released during an earthquake of which there are two main types - surface and body waves. These in turn can be subdivided as follows:Body WavesP-wavesS-wavesSurface wavesLove wavesRayleigh waves
What type of seismic waves cause the most damage?
The surface waves (of which their are two types, Rayleigh and Love waves) cause the most damage during an earthquake.
Identify which seismic waves cause most of the damage during an earthquake?
Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes, rather than the cause of them! The most damaging seismic waves are the surface waves of which there are two types. Love waves and Rayleigh waves. For more information, please see the related links and question.
