Which type of seismic waves cannot be detected on the side of Earth opposite an earthquake?
The type of wave that cannot be detected on the other side of Earth is a secondary wave also known as a s wave
What is a sentence for secondary wave?
The secondary wave of the earthquake cause little damage, only a few buildings fell.
Which seismic wave does more damage primary wave secondary wave or surface wave?
primary
What is known as a seismic sea wave?
Another name for an earthquake is a seism or a temblor
What happens to the time difference between primary and secondary wave as the distance traveled gets longer?
the secondary wave break up
What type of wave indicates a secondary wave?
The term used in seismology is the S-wave.
Which type of waves travels perpendicularly to the direction of its motion?
Secondary Wave S Wave
Which type of earthquake wave is felt second at any given location near the earthquake?
The Secondary or S-wave.
What type of seismic wave does not travel through the core?
Primary waves ( P-waves) can travel through earth's outer core.
Which type of seismic waves cannot be detected on the side of Earth opposite an earthquake?
The type of wave that cannot be detected on the other side of Earth is a secondary wave also known as a s wave
What type of wave cannot travel completely through water?
The S Wave (Secondary Wave) cannot travel through water. On the P Wave (Primary Wave) and the Surface Wave can travel through water.
What is secondary wave?
The S-wave is the secondary seismic wave.
What type of seismic wave causes rock to move at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels?
this wave is called a tsunami and can destroy a whole city/town.
What wave is called the secondary wave?
primary
Is an S Wave a Secondary Wave?
Yes
What type of waves move through earth by causing particles of rocks to move at right angles to the direction of the waves?
A secondary wave causes rocks to vibrate at 90 degrees. This earthquake wave can travel through solids but not through liquids, and causes rock particles to vibrate at right angles to the direction of wave travel.
Distinguish between a primary wave and a secondary wave?
A primary wave is a strong vibration or wave that hits earths surface (P) and a secondary wave (S) is a wave that hits soon after but not nearly as big.
