What type of earthquake wave travels in a push and pull movement?
The Primary or P-wave which is a type of compression or longitudinal wave travels with a push and pull movement.
What is a wave of energy that travels through earth away from an earthquake?
A seismic wave.
What are p and s waveswhich one moves faster and ehat types of material can each go through?
The p wave is a pressure wave after a earthquake and it travels the fastest. An s wave is a wave that moves side to side and is second fastest. Bouth types of waves can go though all material but at different speeds. The denser the material the faster is gose generally. The last wave type is a L wave and it is a rolling wave that is also the slowest wave.
What type of wave travels fastest?
Electromagnetic radiation travels at a speed that's not only faster than any other wave,but is also the "universal speed limit", faster than which nothing can move.
Which seismic wave type arrives first during an earthquake?
The P Waves. Then the S Waves.
What is a type of wave that travels through earth's interior?
A seismic wave, or an earthquake.
What type of earthquake wave travels in a push and pull movement?
The Primary or P-wave which is a type of compression or longitudinal wave travels with a push and pull movement.
What is an example of at type of energy that travels as a longitudal wave?
Sound, some earthquake waves.
What type of seismic wave travels through earth?
The P-wave is a compression / longitudinal wave and so unlike the S-wave is able to travel through the liquid outer core.
What type of wave has movement that is parallel to the direction of the wave?
This is a longitudinal wave or a P-wave (primary wave), called so because it travels faster than a transverse wave, which moves at right angles to the direction the wave travels.
What is a wave of energy that travels through earth away from an earthquake?
A seismic wave.
What type of seismic wave arrives after an earthquake?
A seismic wave travels through the Earth's layers, after a volcano, explosion, or earthquake. Transverse, compressional, longitude, and shear waves are all types of seismic waves after earthquakes.
Which type of wave travels faster through solids then through gasses?
Sound waves (pressure waves).
What are p and s waveswhich one moves faster and ehat types of material can each go through?
The p wave is a pressure wave after a earthquake and it travels the fastest. An s wave is a wave that moves side to side and is second fastest. Bouth types of waves can go though all material but at different speeds. The denser the material the faster is gose generally. The last wave type is a L wave and it is a rolling wave that is also the slowest wave.
Seismic wave?
the energy released by an earthquake that travels in all direction from the focus
A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave is?
Seismic. Waves. Earthquake.
What type of wave travels fastest?
Electromagnetic radiation travels at a speed that's not only faster than any other wave,but is also the "universal speed limit", faster than which nothing can move.
