What can locate a seismic wave?
A seismograph can locate a seismic wave.
What seismic wave causes the most damage?
Seismic wave
How do you stop a seismic wave?
You need a shotgun and shoot the wave and that's how you stop a seismic wave
Which earthquake wave is not a seismic wave?
the sound wave
Will seismic wave traveling through a solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave traveling through liquid why or why not?
why can s-wave can't travel but p-waves can
Does a seismic wave need a medium to move?
No
Wave that does not require a medium?
All waves require a medium.
What are some mechanical wave?
Mechanical wave needs a medium to travel. Examples :- Sound Wave, Seismic Wave etc.
A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave is?
Seismic. Waves. Earthquake.
What does a medium seismic wave travel through?
Seismic waves are vibrations generated by an earthquake. They travel along the surface of the Earth and through the earth. They are a type of wave known as a mechanical wave and as such (unlike electromagnetic waves) require a medium through which to travel. Seismic waves can be split into body and surface waves. The body waves can be split into two main types, the P-wave or primary wave which is a compression or longitudinal wave which can travel through solids, liquids and gasses and the S-wave which is a transverse or shear wave and can only travel through solids.
What types of waves require a medium?
Mechanical waves.For example, sound waves, ocean waves, etc.Many waves need a medium to travel: sound waves, water waves, and seismic waves.Electromagnetic waves do not need a medium.
What is a wave that requires a medium wave?
Waves that require a medium through which to travel are called mechanical waves. They require a medium (gas, solid, and liquid).
Example of surface wave?
In geology, a seismic wave that travels along the surface of a medium and that has a stronger effect near the surface of the medium than it has in the interior.
What does a wave require in order to travel?
generally electromagnetic wave does not require any medium while sound waves require a medium (air) for propagation
What waves require a medium and what waves do not?
Mechanical waves require a medium (substance) to travel in, other waves do not. For example, sound is a mechanical wave and require a medium (air, water, etc.), light is not a mechanical wave and does not require a medium
Which wave require a medium in which to travel?
No.
What wave requires a medium?
Waves that require a medium are called mechanical waves
