Do primary and secondary waves move outward from the epicenter?
no, they move outward from the focus, that's inside the earth.
How do vibrations move through earth's crust?
There are three types of vibrations:- Primary waves, Secondary waves and long waves. Primary waves can move through solid and liquid. Secondary waves move through only solids and long waves can only move along the surface of the earth's crust.
How does energy travel during earthquakes?
There are three types of vibrations:- Primary waves, Secondary waves and long waves. Primary waves can move through solid and liquid. Secondary waves move through only solids and long waves can only move along the surface of the earth's crust.
What seismic waves can not move through liquid?
Secondary
What is the point under the surface where earthquake waves are generated and move outward in all directions?
the epicenter
Do primary and secondary waves move outward from the epicenter?
no, they move outward from the focus, that's inside the earth.
From which of the following do primary and secondary waves move outward?
epienter or focus or moho or tsunami
The waves that arrive after primary waves they move the ground back and forth?
secondary

If primary waves and secondary wave move outwards what will happen?
focus!!
Another word for seismic waves that characterizes the way they move?
P-Waves (Primary Waves) S-Waves (Secondary Waves) Surface Waves
What move by giving particles a circular motion and are generated by energy that travels outward from epicenter?
primary waves
These move through earth by causing particles to move at right angles to the waves' direction?
the answer to this question is transverse wave
What do Primary Waves and Secondary Waves have in common?
Primary waves (P-waves) and secondary waves (S-waves) are both types of seismic waves that travel through the Earth's interior during an earthquake. They are both body waves that move through the Earth's interior. Additionally, both P-waves and S-waves play a crucial role in helping seismologists understand the structure of the Earth's interior.
How do primary and secondary waves move?
Primary waves (P-waves) move by compressing and expanding rock material in the direction of wave propagation, similar to a slinky being pushed and pulled. Secondary waves (S-waves) move by shearing rock material side to side, perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, like a rope being shaken.
Do surface waves move faster than P-waves or S-waves?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
