What else can I help you with?
Which travels slower p waves or surface waves?
surface waves because p waves and s waves are way faster so here is how it goes from fastest to slowest: is p wave and then s wave and then surface waves
What are the three categories of seismic waves?
p wave comes first s wave comes next and last comes surface wave.
What are the three seismic waves in order?
The three types of seismic waves are: P waves S waves Surface waves ( two surface waves. Riley surface wave and love surface wave named after scientists
A surface wave's motion is most like?
Surface waves travel more slowly than body waves (P and S); and of the two surface.
What type of waves are primary waves?
A primary wave is a strong vibration or wave that hits earths surface (P) and a secondary wave (S) is a wave that hits soon after but not nearly as big.
What will happen if a P wave and an S wave combine?
When a P wave and an S wave combine, they can create a new type of seismic wave called a surface wave. Surface waves travel along the Earth's surface and can cause the most damage during an earthquake due to their slower speed and larger amplitudes compared to P and S waves.
Is surface wave faster then a p wave?
no a p wave is faster than s wave
How does the ground motion produced by a P-wave compare to the ground motion produced by a surface-wave?
The ground motion produced by a P-wave is a rapid back-and-forth motion in the direction of wave propagation, causing particles to compress and expand. In contrast, surface waves cause horizontal shaking and rolling motion along the surface, resulting in larger amplitudes and longer durations compared to P-waves.
What are seismicwaves?
Seismic waves are the p wave,s wave,and the surface wave
What does the p in p stand for?
Primary Wave and the other is Surface wave (S wave) in case anyone is wondering. Both are part of earthquakes.
What type of wave can be generated by underwater earthquakes?
Underwater earthquakes can generate seismic waves, including primary (P) waves, secondary (S) waves, and surface waves. These waves can travel through the Earth and water, causing tsunamis on the ocean's surface.
Which travels slower p waves or surface waves?
surface waves because p waves and s waves are way faster so here is how it goes from fastest to slowest: is p wave and then s wave and then surface waves
How does ground motion produced by a p wave compare to the ground motion produced by surface waves?
The underground motion of a P-wave usually effects the us less than ones near or on the surface.
Why is the R wave taller than the P wave on the ECG graph cycle?
The QRS complex is normally larger than the P Wave because depolarization of the larger muscle mass of the ventricles generates more voltage than does depolarization of the smaller muscle mass of the atria
Which wave type is formed when the wave reach the earths surface?
L waves are formed when P&S waves reach the surface.
What type of seismic wave that compresses and expands the ground?
Longitudinal Waves
What is a wave of energy produced at the earthquake's focus?
therre is more than one wave, it could be a surface wave, or an s wave or p wave
