What Seismic waves that cause particles of rock to move in a side to side direction?
Seismic waves that cause particles of rock to move in a side-to-side direction are known as S-waves or secondary waves. These waves are a type of shear wave that travel through the Earth during an earthquake, moving perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. S-waves can only travel through solid materials, which distinguishes them from P-waves (primary waves) that can move through both solids and liquids. Their side-to-side motion is responsible for much of the shaking felt during seismic events.
What else can I help you with?
S waves?
seismic waves thta shakes particles at right angles to the dircetion that they travel
How are p waves different from s waves?
P waves are primary seismic waves that travel faster and can pass through solids, liquids, and gases. S waves are secondary seismic waves that travel slower and can only pass through solids, not liquids or gases. P waves cause particles to move in the same direction as the wave, while S waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the wave's direction.
These waves cause back and forth motion?
That would likely be a mechanical or longitudinal wave, where the particles of the medium oscillate back and forth along the direction of wave propagation, creating the motion. Examples include sound waves and seismic waves.
S waves are longitudinal seismic waves?
This statement is incorrect. S waves are actually transverse seismic waves, meaning they move particles perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Longitudinal seismic waves are known as P waves.
What are Seismic wave causes rock particles vibrate back and forth in the direction of the waves?
Seismic waves are vibrations that travel through the Earth's layers, causing rock particles to move back and forth in the direction of the wave propagation. These waves are generated by seismic events, such as earthquakes or explosions, and carry energy that can cause shaking and deformation of the Earth's crust.
What Squeezes and pulls rock in the same direction that the wave travels?
Seismic waves, specifically compressional (P-waves), squeeze and pull rock in the same direction that they travel. These waves cause particles in the rock to oscillate back and forth along the direction of propagation.
What type of waves move the particles of the medium in the same direction in which the waves are traveling?
Longitudinal waves move the particles of the medium in the same direction in which the waves are traveling. This produces a back-and-forth motion of the particles parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
What are Waves that cause particle to move in the same direction of the wave?
seismic
What are Waves that move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling called?
Longitudinal. An example of a longitudinal wave is sound. It pushes the medium particles forwards and backwards, parallel to the wave's direction. Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the wave. (E.g. visible light, x-rays, microwaves)
In which type of waves to particles in the medium vibrate in the same direction the wave is moving?
Longitudinal waves are the type of waves in which particles in the medium vibrate in the same direction the wave is moving. This is in contrast to transverse waves, where particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
These move through earth by causing particles to move at right angles to the waves' direction?
the answer to this question is transverse wave
Which causes the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the wave motion?
Longitudinal waves cause the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the wave motion. This means that the particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
