Earthquakes produce "seismic" waves. These can be split into two main types: Body Waves and Surface Waves. Body waves consist of P-waves (compression or longitudinal waves) and S-waves (shear or transverse waves). P-waves can go through solid, liquid, and gas forms but S waves can only travel through solids. The P waves reach seismic stations quicker than S waves as they travel at a greater speed. Surface waves travel more slowly than Body waves and there are two main types: The Rayleigh and Love wave.
What else can I help you with?
What are waves produces by earthquakes called?
The waves produced by earthquakes are called seismic waves.
What are waves produced by?
earthquakes
Waves produced by earthquakes are called?
Waves produced by earthquakes are called seismic waves. These waves can be further categorized into primary (P-waves), secondary (S-waves), and surface waves.
What waves does an earthquake do?
Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes
What types of waves are produced by earthquakes and explosions?
seismic waves
When earthquakes occur they produced waves called?
They're called Seismic waves
What vibrations produced by earthquakes?
Seismic waves is the usual description.
Instrument to study earthquakes?
A seismometer or seismograph will measure the amplitude and frequency of seismic waves which are produced by earthquakes.
What is a seismograph used for measuring?
Seismic waves such as those produced by earthquakes.
How is energy released during earthquakes travels in seismic waves?
Seismic waves are the forms of energy produced by an earthquake.
What are forms of energy that are produced at an earthquakes point of origin and travel outward?
Seismic Waves
What Earthquakes produce that travel though Earth?
Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes and travel through the Earth. These waves can be divided into two main types: body waves (P-waves and S-waves) that travel through the interior of the Earth, and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface.
