Cause rock particles to vibrate in same direction that waves travel
What else can I help you with?
Longitudinal seismic wave are known as?
The Answer is primary waves.
What is the abbreviation for primary waves?
The abbreviation for primary waves is P-waves.
What are seismic waves that moves rock particles at right angels to the direction of the wave?
P or Primary waves are longitudinal waves that move rock particles back and forth in the same direction that the wave travels.
What are 3 waves a wave can interact?
primary waves are the fastest waves
Is a P-wave a seismic wave?
Yes. P-waves are known as primary waves and are a compressional or longitudinal wave.
What is the fastest type of seismic wave?
The fastest type of seismic wave is the primary wave, or P-wave. P-waves are compressional waves that travel through solids, liquids, and gases, and they are the first waves to arrive at a seismograph during an earthquake.
What are the characteristics of S-Waves?
Primary wave is a wave which is directly generated from source and secondary waves are generated from p-waves.
What are the the characteristics of s waves?
Primary wave is a wave which is directly generated from source and secondary waves are generated from p-waves.
What is the fastest of the seismic waves?
p waves aka primary waves
What indicates a primary wave?
PP waves
Which wave is refracted by earths core?
Primary Waves(P-Waves)
What is the first type of wave in an earthquake called?
The first type of wave in an earthquake is called the primary wave or P-wave. P-waves are the fastest seismic waves that travel through the Earth's interior, causing the ground to move back and forth in the direction the wave is traveling.
