Another word for seismic waves that characterizes the way they move?
P-Waves (Primary Waves) S-Waves (Secondary Waves) Surface Waves
How is thermal energy transferred from particle to particle?
particles move, the faster they move, the higher the temperature. as one particle bumps another some kinetic energy is transferred, thus temp of one increases, and the other loses some
Do waves transfer matter from one point to another as they move through a medium?
No
How does light energy move from one place to another?
It moves as particles(photons) AND as waves.
What are waves that move from side to side?
S waves are waves that move from side to side.
How do surface waves move rock particle?

How do particles within the medium not travel?
waves move through a particle.
What are Waves that cause particle to move in the same direction of the wave?
seismic
What kind of waves caused particle the rocks to move at right angles to the direction of the wave?
secondary waves
What damage do p waves cause?
P waves typically cause little to no damage when it comes to buildings, because buildings are usually built to withhold a back-and-forth motion (being the most common motion). I hope this helps. :)

How do l waves move?
The particle motion of a Love wave forms a horizontal circle or ellipse moving in the direction of propagation.
What is the main difference between a P-wave and an S-wave?
Their velocity (P-waves travel more quickly than S-waves) and their mode of propagation (the way they move through the earth). S-waves are transverse waves which move material from side to side (particle motion is normal to direction of travel) whereas P-waves are compression or longitudinal waves where particle motion is parallel to the direction of travel. This means that P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses whereas S-waves can only travel through solids.
How do light and sound transfer from one place to another?
Both light and sound inhabit frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum. Additionally, both move as waves (think waves on a beach), and light moves also as a particle. As waves, both transmit radiant energy, that with a sufficient medium (gas or liquid for sound--light only requires clear transmission lines) allow the energy to move from transmission site to reception site. Light, moving as a particle also transfers kinetic energy--a minute amount, but enough to actually move very large objects given lack of resistance (think solar sail). So, let's review: sound and light move as waves. Light moves also as a particle (wavicle). Both transfer radiant energy generally by exciting molecules. Light also transfers kinetic energy via the collision of photons (that particle) with other matter.
Do ocean waves travel in longitudinal waves?
No, they are transverse a water particle moves perpendicular to the motion of the wave (water particles move up and down where are the wave moves left or right)
How is thermal energy transferred from particle to particle?
particles move, the faster they move, the higher the temperature. as one particle bumps another some kinetic energy is transferred, thus temp of one increases, and the other loses some
