What kind of waves cause particles in rocks to move back and forth in the same direction?
Longitudinal or compression waves.
What kind of waves caused particles of rocks to move back and forth in the same direction?
Longitudinal or compression waves.
What kind waves cause particles in rocks to move back and forth in the same direction?
Longitudinal or compression waves.
What wave in which matter moves in the same direction as the waves?
Compression wave
Do compression waves need matter for energy transfer?
Yes, compressional waves are what sound is made of. Since there is no sound in a vacuum, it can be assumed that compressional waves only travel through matter. You can also think of it like this: they're called compression waves because something is compressing. If there was no matter, there'd be nothing for them to compress.
What are compressional waves that move rocks and other matter in the same direction as the waves travel?
the
Shearing seismic waves that move rocks and other matter in a direction perpendicular to the waves are traveling?
Primary waves (p waves)
What kind of wave cause particles in rocks to move back and forth in the same direction?
Longitudinal or compression waves.
What kinds of wave cause particles in rocks to move back and forth in the same direction?
Longitudinal or compression waves.
What are shearing waves that move rocks and other matter in a direction perpendicular to the direction the wave are traveling?
Transverse waves
What is the relationship between earthquakes and crustal movement?
Crustal movements cause earthquakes because of the sound waves and the movement underground.
Is sunlight and radiowaves a good example of compression waves?
No, sunlight and radiowaves are not compression waves. Sunlight consists of electromagnetic waves, while radiowaves are a type of electromagnetic wave in the radio frequency range. Compression waves are mechanical waves that require a medium to propagate, such as sound waves.
