Types of wave motion?
Here are two types of wave motion depending on the direction of wave propagation and the vibration of particles of the medium:1.Transverse waves:When the particles of a medium vibrate in a direction at right angles to the direction of propagation of the disturbance through the medium, the waves set up in the medium are called transverse waves.2.Longitudinal waves:When the particles of a medium vibrate in the direction of propagation of the disturbance through the medium, the waves set up in the medium are called longitudinal waves
What is related to the amount of energy in a sound wave?
Sound waves are mechanical in nature. It means that it needs a material medium so essentially. As sound waves pass through the medium, the material does simple harmonic motion. Hence the energy is related to the amplitude of vibration. Energy is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude. Energy passing through the medium is derived in a formula as 2 pi2 m a2 f2. m- mass of the particle of the medium a-amplitude of vibration and f - the frequency of vibration. So the intensity is the term used to mean the energy of sound waves. It is defined as the energy per unit area crossing in one second.
Area in which sound waves are pushed together?
This question is misguided. It is not the sound waves which are apart, but the particles of the medium. A place where the particles are further apart is called a rarefaction. Where they are crowded together is called a compression.
How are waves produces?
By the moons gravitational pull.
What are facts about p-waves?
1. Waves of energy that travel through the Earth. 2. Result of an earthquake, explosion, or a volcano that imparts low-frequency acoustic energy. 3. Seismic waves are studied by geophysicists called seismologists. 4. Recorded by a seismometer, hydrophone (in water), or accelerometer. 5. Types of seismic waves: body wave, surface waves S waves and P waves. 6. Scientists have used indirect measurements and seismic waves from earthquakes to determine the internal structure of the Earth. 7. Scientists have seismographs set up all over the world to track movement of the Earth's crust. 8. Surface waves travel along the surface of the earth. 9. Typically the most destructive type during an earthquake. 10. Seismic waves are not always detectable by seismometers.
Area which wound waves are pushed apart?
A sound wave is essentially fast changing sound pressure. Longitudinal sound waves need a medium to travel through in order to exist.

What is density when talking about mediums?
Density is the amount of (something) per unit (volume or area or length depending on the scenario). Mass density is the amount of mass per unit volume/area/length. If by medium you mean the medium through which a wave travels thru, then the density will primarily affect the velocity of the wave. Generally, sound/longitudinal waves have a velocity proportional to the density of the medium.

What is the area of Summer Waves?
The area of Summer Waves is 44,515.4206464 square meters.
The speed at which seismic waves travel through Earth's layers depends upon the of those layers. temperature density shape area?
The speed of the waves depends on the density of the material.
What Are the two types that travels underground in an earthquake?
Primary waves-These waves travel very fast and go through any medium, except for a small area on the opposite side of the Earth from the epicenter. This is due to refraction and is called the dark zone or blind spot. These waves travels in a compressing motion. Secondary waves-These waves are slower and travel in a side-to-side motion. The cannot pass though total liquid. The can go up to 105 degrees from either side of the epicenter of the earthquake. However, due to the Lehmann's Discontinuity, secondary waves also appear in the solid core.
An area where p waves and s waves are unaffected?
shadow zones.
