What type of earthquake wave travels in a push and pull movement?
The Primary or P-wave which is a type of compression or longitudinal wave travels with a push and pull movement.
What kind of earthquake wave is purely longitudinal?
The P wave
What is the fastest seismic wave that travels through solids liquids and gases?
Primary: aka P-waves
What are p and s waveswhich one moves faster and ehat types of material can each go through?
The p wave is a pressure wave after a earthquake and it travels the fastest. An s wave is a wave that moves side to side and is second fastest. Bouth types of waves can go though all material but at different speeds. The denser the material the faster is gose generally. The last wave type is a L wave and it is a rolling wave that is also the slowest wave.
What type of earthquake wave travels faster?
P-waves(primary waves) travel faster than S-waves(secondary waves)
What type of seismic wave travels through earth?
The P-wave is a compression / longitudinal wave and so unlike the S-wave is able to travel through the liquid outer core.
What do p waves indicate during an earthquake?
A P-wave travels through the inner earth and records conspicuous waves within.
What type of earthquake wave travels in a push and pull movement?
The Primary or P-wave which is a type of compression or longitudinal wave travels with a push and pull movement.
What kind of earthquake wave can travel through both liquids and solids?
That would be the P wave, or Primary wave
How do rock particles move during the passage of a P wave through rock?
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 happens to the distance between P waves and S waves as you travel farther away from the epicenter?
It is because the epicenter decreases their strenght as it is closer to it
What is a seismic wave that travels through the earths interior?
body waves
What is an swave?
An S-wave is a secondary wave that comes after P-waves, and can travel only through solids.
In a transverse wave that travels through a mediun the molecules of the medium vibrate?
Up to a crest, then down through a trough, then back. APEX :P
What kind of earthquake wave is purely longitudinal?
The P wave
A body earthquake wave the can penetrate the Earth's core?
The earthquake body wave which can penetrate the Earth's core is the P-wave.
What is the approximate total distance traveled by an earthquake P-waves in its first 9 minutes?
An average S or P wave travels through the crust at approximatively 7 km / second, so approximatively 3780 km in 9 minutes [Or 540 seconds]
