Which forms of matter can primary and secondary seismic waves travel through?
Primary seismic waves are longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses (although seismic waves are of to low a frequency to normally be heard). Secondary seismic waves are transverse waves and only travel through solids.
What is a seismic monitor?
A machine or program to measure seismic waves that travel through the earth after an earthquake or explosion.
What does the time-distance graph of seismic waves show?
The time-distance graph of seismic waves shows the relationship between the time it takes for seismic waves to travel and the distance they travel. It helps in determining the speed at which seismic waves propagate through the Earth's interior and provides information about the structure and composition of the Earth's layers.
The seismic waves that travel along Earth's surface and produce the most severe ground movements are called .?
Surface waves-Ava :)
What are the seismic waves that travel along earths surface and produce the most severe ground movements?
What does a seismograph use to record the drums vibrations
What does seismic?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
In what diection does a seismic wave travel?
Seismic waves travel in all directins radiating out from the Earthquake's epicenter and/or focus.
Most of the information about earth's interior was obtained by studying?
seismic waves that travel through the earth
Where do seismic travel through?
the ground
What happens to seismic waves as they travel out from the epicenter?
They get weaker as they travel out from the epicentre
What does seismic mean?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
What type of seismic wave carries the most energy?
Secondary seismic waves travel slower than primary waves but they are much more destructive. Thus it carries more energy.
Which forms of matter can primary and secondary seismic waves travel through?
Primary seismic waves are longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses (although seismic waves are of to low a frequency to normally be heard). Secondary seismic waves are transverse waves and only travel through solids.
What is a seismic travel time curve?
A seismic travel time curve describes the relation between the travel time of a seismic wave and the epicentral distance. It is used to calculate the calculate the distance of the earthquake's epicenter from the seismograph.
What is a seismic monitor?
A machine or program to measure seismic waves that travel through the earth after an earthquake or explosion.
Which direction do Seismic waves travel?
in all directions
Which seismic wave does not travel through liquid?
transverse
