What is the area of the earth that is unaffected by both P S waves?
The shadow zone
How does earths solid inner core affect seismic waves?
They go faster through the inner core than the liquid outer core.
What wave reaches the recording station after an earthquake?
The first wave to reach a recording station after an earthquake is the Primary wave, or P-wave. P-waves are compressional waves that travel faster than other seismic waves, moving through both solid and liquid layers of the Earth. They are followed by Secondary waves (S-waves) and surface waves, which arrive later and can cause more damage.
What wave is a transverse wave that occurs with earthquakes?
S-waves (or Secondary waves) and Love waves are both transverse seismic waves.
Which one of the following statement is true about P waves in question 5?
I'm sorry, but I don't have access to question 5 or any specific context regarding P waves. However, in general, P waves (primary waves) are seismic waves that are the first to arrive at a seismic station during an earthquake. They are compressional waves, meaning they compress and expand the material they travel through, and can move through both solid and liquid layers of the Earth. If you provide more context or details about question 5, I'd be happy to help further!
What is the area of the earth that is unaffected by both P and S waves?
The shadow zone
What is the area of the earth that is unaffected by both P S waves?
The shadow zone
What is the area of the earth that's unaffected by both p and s waves?
none, p-waves can travel anywhere
Which area of earth is unaffected by both p and s waves?
The shadow zone, located at a distance of 103 to 143 degrees from the earthquake epicenter, is the area on Earth's surface where both P and S waves are completely absorbed and do not arrive due to the core's properties.
What area of earth is not affected by both p and s waves?
The liquid outer core of the Earth's interior refracts p-waves at the boundary with the mantle, and does not carry s-waves.
What do Primary Waves and Secondary Waves have in common?
Primary waves (P-waves) and secondary waves (S-waves) are both types of seismic waves that travel through the Earth's interior during an earthquake. They are both body waves that move through the Earth's interior. Additionally, both P-waves and S-waves play a crucial role in helping seismologists understand the structure of the Earth's interior.
What do vertical and horizontal surface waves have in common?
Vertical and horizontal surface waves are both types of seismic waves that travel along the Earth's surface. They are both considered to be surface waves, which means they do not penetrate deep into the Earth like body waves. These waves are typically the most destructive during an earthquake due to their ability to cause significant ground shaking and damage.
When part of earth's crust breaks what waves pass through the earth?
When part of the Earth's crust breaks, seismic waves pass through the Earth. These waves include primary (P) waves, secondary (S) waves, and surface waves. P waves are the fastest and can travel through both solids and liquids, while S waves are slower and can only travel through solids. Surface waves cause the most damage during an earthquake.
What do primary and surface waves have in common?
Primary and surface waves are both types of seismic waves that travel through the Earth's interior during an earthquake. They both cause ground shaking, but primary waves (P-waves) are faster and travel through solids, liquids, and gases, while surface waves travel only along the Earth's surface and are responsible for the most damage during an earthquake.
Which seismic body wave can penetrate the Earth's core?
P waves are seismic body waves that can penetrate the Earth's core. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through both solid and liquid materials, allowing them to pass through the Earth's core.
What are the subtypes of secondary waves?
The subtypes of secondary waves (S-waves) are Love waves and Rayleigh waves. Love waves cause horizontal movement, while Rayleigh waves cause both horizontal and vertical movement. Both types of waves are surface waves that move along the Earth's crust.
Do p waves or surface waves move faster?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
