What else can I help you with?
Can sound waves travel through rocks?
Yes it can cause sound waves can travel through solids,liquids,but slowly in gases and air
Do P-waves travel faster through rocks?
Yes, indeed. 'Tis how they travel, after all... ;)
What Type of seismic wave that travels the fastest through rock material by causing rocks to vibrate in the same direction as the waves?
Primary (P) waves are the fastest seismic waves that travel through rock material by causing rocks to vibrate in the same direction as the waves. P waves are able to travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
Can sound travel through rocks?
Yes it can cause sound waves can travel through solids,liquids,but slowly in gases and air
What affects the speed of seismic waves?
The speed of seismic waves are affected by the type of material that the waves are traveling through. in other words (as an example): some type of waves can travel through rocks but not through liquids.
Do p waves vibrate at 90 percent to the wave motion?
They travel the fastest through rocks.
Does sound travel through rock?
Yes, sound can travel through rock, but at a much slower speed than through air or water. This is because rocks are denser and more rigid, causing sound waves to be absorbed and lose energy as they travel through the rock.
What types of materials do s waves pass through?
S waves, also known as secondary waves, can only pass through solid materials such as rocks and metals. They cannot travel through liquids or gases.
Do waves change shape as they travel?
Yes, waves can change shape as they travel due to interactions with the medium they are propagating through, such as diffraction, reflection, refraction, and interference. The shape of a wave can also be affected by the frequency, amplitude, and wavelength of the wave.
How do different types of seismic waves affect the rocks through which they travel?
Seismic waves travel through rocks in various ways, primarily categorized as primary (P) waves, secondary (S) waves, and surface waves. P waves are compressional waves that compress and expand the material, causing it to move back and forth in the direction of wave propagation, which can lead to elastic deformation. S waves, being shear waves, move rocks perpendicular to their direction of travel, causing more complex movements and often resulting in shear stress that can lead to fractures or faults. Surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface, typically cause the most damage, generating rolling or swaying motions that can significantly weaken structures and disturb the ground.
What are the vibrations called when rocks break?
The vibrations that occur when rocks break are called seismic waves. These waves are generated by the sudden release of energy during rock fractures and can travel through the Earth, causing earthquakes.
What do earthquake waves travel through?
earthquake waves travel through the earths crust.
