What happens the the p wave when they strike the inner core?
When the P wave strikes the inner core it bends and goes in a different direction.
What does the S wave and P wave stand for?
P waves are primary waves and S waves are called secondary waves
What is the difference between arrival times of a p-wave and a s-wave?
s waves are about 60% slower than p waves, so basicaly p waves are about twice as fast. The actual time in like minutes or hours depends on where the epicenter is, and where you are recording from
When do P waves arrive at the surface in relation to S waves?
when the P waves arrive at the surface in relation to s waves and surface waves is called the promary waves.
What directions does P waves and S waves go?
P waves go side to side. S waves go up and down.
What are known as s waves?
S waves, or Secondary waves, are earthquake waves during an earthquake. They crash after P waves ( Primary waves) and are less stronger than surface waves
Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What travels faster P waves or S waves?
S-waves are stronger, but travel slower and can only travel through solids.
What type of seismic wave are P waves and S waves?
P and S waves are body waves.
What happens the the p wave when they strike the inner core?
When the P wave strikes the inner core it bends and goes in a different direction.
What is the difference Between S waves P waves?
P-waves are faster than s-waves. Both can pass through solid rock, but only p-waves can pass through gases and liquids === ===
