Which waves travel faster a seismic wave or radio wave?
Seismic waves depend on what kind of material of ground they travel on because not all seismic waves can travel in liquid or solid grounds, so earthquakes might not be that distructive. But earthquakes still depend on the friction, faults and other stuff. Seismic waves play a big role in an earthquake because it carries the energy away from the focus, and onto the earthquake. But the seismic waves don't stay in an earthquake, they go through Earth's interior and carry the energy across the surface. But the people near the earthquake won't feel it as much as the epople who are near the earthquake.
What two waves do not require a medium?
The two waves which do not require a medium are electromagnetic waves, also known as light and gravitational waves. Gravity waves have not been detected yet but are predicted by general relativity so are expected to exist.
How are different types of electromagnetic waves organized?
Electromagnetic waves have been classified as the mode of production differs from one to the other.
What do you call waves that bend when changing mediums?
Waves are said to have been refracted when they bend upon changing mediums. The waves have undergone refraction when moving from one medium to another.
What are the electromagnetic waves from largest and shortest?
Actually electromagnetic waves have been classified into various catergories based on the method of prodution. Any way they have been arranged in decreasing order of wavelength as follows: Long waves Radio waves Microwaves Infra red Visible light Ultra violet X-ray Gamma ray
Scientists have been able to determine the composition of Earth's layers by?

Where was the slinky inventor born?
Well Betty James and Richard James were the inventors of the slinky... sooo they must have been born in hollydasburg.. thats where the slinky was originally from soo they must have been born there
How long is the biggest slinky in the world?
when stretched out, the worlds biggest slinky has been measured to be 40ft. and 2in.
What divides the mantle and the core?
The boundary between the mantle and the outer core is a layer known as D". It is a thermal and chemical boundary where a change in speed of seismic waves has been noted.
What evidence do we have that Earth's outer core is molten?
There are two types of seismic body waves that travel through the earth when an earthquake occurs. P-waves and S-waves. When an earthquake occurs it has been observed that there is a zone at the opposite side of the earth where P-waves are detected but S-waves are not. S-waves are not able to travel through liquids where as P-waves can and as such it is believed that the shadow zone is caused by the presence of a liquid outer core.

Do radio waves have a high frequency?
Because the X-ray has a shorter wavelength (kuch shorter!) the energy is much greater in an X-ray. Therefore with a bigger energy, E = hv would calculate a higher frequency for x rays. As the eregy of a wave increases, so goes the frequency. Actually, it probably should be stated the other way, but I still have answered your question
What has been done to make structures seismic safe?
Improve buildings?
Has st Louis experienced volcanism or seismic activity If so what were the sizes and dates of the events?
No.There has been no Volcanism or seismic activity recently. 12-8-10
How have scientists been able to determine the composition of Earth's layers?
Severals methods are all combined to give the scientist info on the layers of the Earth. For example they study the influence of the earth on orbits of the moon and other planets (mass distribution of the earth, mass density). They study the way seismic waves go through the earth which gives knowledge of layers. They use wave to sound. They examine sample of earth.
