What else can I help you with?
Dose a primary wave travel through soilids and liquids?
Primary waves can travel through liquid and solids at certain speeds but some quakes can not travel through water.
What can s waves not travel through?
S-waves cannot travel through liquids, but they can travel through solids and gases. P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases. Hope this helped! :D
In what direction do seismic waves carry the energy of an earthquake?
Seismic waves are the earths crust vibrating. there are two types of waves P-waves and S-waves (Primary and Secondary) Primary waves travel faster than s waves and can travel through solid and liquid, S-waves can only travel through solids
Do secondary waves travel through solids but not through liquids?
Secondary waves are transverse or shear waves which are able to pass through solids, but are not able to pass through liquids.
P waves can travel through solids and liquids but S waves can only travel through solids P waves travel faster through rock than through liquid This fact is used to help determine the composition yo?
...the composition of the Earth.
What earthquake waves travel through solids?
P waves or primary waves.
Does primary waves slow down as they travel through solids?
no
Which forms of matter can primary and secondary seismic waves travel through?
Primary seismic waves are longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses (although seismic waves are of to low a frequency to normally be heard). Secondary seismic waves are transverse waves and only travel through solids.
Will a primary wave travel through liquid?
Yes. Primary waves are compression or longitudinal waves can pass through solids, liquids and gasses.
What substances can body waves move through?
Body waves can move through solids, liquids, and gases. Primary (P) waves can travel through all three mediums, while secondary (S) waves can only travel through solids. Love and Rayleigh waves are surface waves that travel along the boundary of solids, such as the Earth's crust.
Which type of EQ waves can only go through solids?
S-waves (secondary waves) can only travel through solids because they move in a shearing, side-to-side motion that requires a rigid medium to propagate. P-waves (primary waves) can travel through both solids and fluids.
Dose a primary wave travel through soilids and liquids?
Primary waves can travel through liquid and solids at certain speeds but some quakes can not travel through water.
How are primary and secondary waves similar?
there both wavesThey are both Seismic wavesThey can both go through solidsThey are both Seismic wavesThey can both go through solidsThey are both Seismic wavesThey can both go through solids
Which is faster a primary wave or a secondary wave?
Primary waves (P-waves) travel faster than secondary waves (S-waves) through the Earth's interior. P-waves are compressional waves that can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, while S-waves are shear waves that only travel through solids.
Which layers can S-waves travel through?
s-waves travel through solids only
What are the characteristics of body waves?
Body waves are seismic waves that travel through the Earth's interior. They include Primary (P-waves), which are compressional waves that travel through solids, liquids, and gases, and Secondary (S-waves), which are shear waves that only travel through solids. Body waves are responsible for the initial shaking felt during an earthquake.
How a primary wave moves?
P Waves, or primary waves, move through both solids and liquids. When traveling through solids, P-Waves move fast through dense solids and slower through less dense solids. They move in a compression motion, much like a slinky would. P-Waves are noticed first because they travel faster than S Waves.
