How do particles move when a mechanical wave passes through them?
A P wave is a type of seismic wave that is caused by an earthquake. P waves are the first seismic waves felt during an earthquake. When the P wave moves, rock particles move back and forth along the direction of the P wave.
What are seismic waves that moves rock particles at right angels to the direction of the wave?
P or Primary waves are longitudinal waves that move rock particles back and forth in the same direction that the wave travels.
Are bricks made from rock?
No, bricks are made out of clay which is fired at high temperatures in an oven or kiln. Clay itself was formed when rocks were weathered, releasing fine particles of minerals, usually silica (sand is made of silica and so is glass). When clay is wet these particles are separate but when it dries the particles stick together. Very high temperatures cause a chemical change in the minerals which cause them to harden (the same happens to sand which becomes liquid glass when heated and then hardens)
What can happen when rocks pass their elastic limit break and snap back in elastic rebounds?
Earthquakes will happen.
Do particles turn into fallout when they are in a nuclear explosion?
You basically have it. Anything lofted by the updraft in the stem eventually becomes fallout (although some small amount may not be radioactive).Nuclear fallout is composed of:Oxidized residue of the vaporized bomb (highly radioactive fission products, unused nuclear fuels, bomb casing, etc.)Particles of the substrate below or around the burst (dirt, rock, water, etc.)Any particles (from anywhere) exposed to the high neutron flux of the fireball will become radioactive.etc.
Why does rocks not visibly vibrate but particles that make up rock constantly move?
The reason rocks do not visibly move is because the rock particles are so small because they were broken down
What happens to the particles when a piece of rock is heated up?
The molecules that make up the rock vibrate faster, with greater velocity.
What waves is a primary wave?
Cause rock particles to vibrate in same direction that waves travel
What is a primary wave or p-wave?
Cause rock particles to vibrate in same direction that waves travel
What are Seismic wave causes rock particles vibrate back and forth in the direction of the waves?
i believe it is the primary wave (p-wave)
What particles are in rock?
Rock particles.
Which rock is formed when particles stick together?
The rock formed when particles stick together is called Sedimentary Rock. The type of this rock depends on the composition and texture of the particles sticking together.
What is sandblasting of rock by wind-blown particles?
Sandblasting of rock by wind-blown particles is referred to as abrasion. It is the process of scraping or wearing away of rock particles.
What are rock particles made of?
Sedimentary rock
What is formed when particles and bits of rock are cemented together?
The rock that forms when particles of rock or plant remains are cemented together is called sedimentary rock.
What does rock particles mean?
All of these changes break rocks into smaller pieces called rock particles
Describe the direction in which soil and rock particles rise?
The rock particles rise perpendicular to the slope of the hill.
