What else can I help you with?
P waves?
seismic waves that puch copmpress and pull in the diection thta waves travel
Which seismic waves compress and expand rock in the direction the waves travel?
P Waves
S waves?
seismic waves thta shakes particles at right angles to the dircetion that they travel
Which seismic waves compress and expand rocks in the direction the wave travel?
P waves
How do you know waves transfer energy in the direction of the travel of wave?
seismic waves travel in all directions. the reason we know is because of earthquakes.
In which direction do seismic waves travel from their point of origin?
Seismic waves travel outward in all directions from their point of origin, which is the focus of an earthquake. The waves propagate through the Earth's interior in various patterns and speeds, with different types of waves exhibiting different behaviors.
What does seismic?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
What wave moves the same direction as it travels?
Longitudinal waves move in the same direction as they travel. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of energy transport. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves in air and seismic waves in the Earth.
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.
In what direction do seismic waves carry the energy of an earthquake?
Seismic waves are the earths crust vibrating. there are two types of waves P-waves and S-waves (Primary and Secondary) Primary waves travel faster than s waves and can travel through solid and liquid, S-waves can only travel through solids
In which type of waves is the motion of the particles perpendicular to the direction that wave is traveling?
Transverse waves have particle motion perpendicular to the direction of wave travel. Examples include light waves, water waves, and seismic S-waves.
Which seismic travel most rapidly?
P-waves (Primary waves) are the fastest seismic waves and travel most rapidly through the Earth's crust. They are longitudinal waves that move through solid and liquid materials, causing the particles to move parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
