What layer on earth shields ultraviolet waves?
ozone layer
What wave type is formed when the waves reach the Earth's surface?
Surface waves
Can secondary waves travel through the center of the earth?
No, because to reach the center of the Earth, they need to pass through the outer core. Secondary waves, or S-waves, can't pass through liquids, such as the liquid outer core, so they can't thus even reach the center of the Earth.
Which wave type is formed when the waves reach the Earth's surface?
s wave
Which wave type is formed when the waves reach the Earths surface?
L waves are formed when P&S waves reach the surface.

Do ultraviolet waves get through earth's atmosphere?
Ultraviolet light does come through the Earth's atmosphere. These are the waves that cause sunburn, and are usually referred to as UV rays.
What layer on earth shields ultraviolet waves?
ozone layer
What relationship does uv have with regard to time?
Ultraviolet rays travel much slower than visible light waves. It takes about 40 years for a UV ray to reach the Earth.
Which type of electromagnetic waves are absorbed by earth and change to heat?
ultraviolet rays
How are ultraviolet waves different from light waves?
Ultraviolet waves are smaller than light waves.
Are ultraviolet waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
Ultraviolet waves are part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum which all travel as transverse waves.
What damage can ultraviolet waves do to homans?
There are no such things as "ultraviolet waves" or "homans".
How does the energy from the sun reach the earth?
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
