What else can I help you with?
What are the seismic waves from the focus that are perpendicular to this motion?
secondary waves.......... i think
Which seismic wave causes particles in the ground to move perpendicular to the wave's propagation?
S waves, or secondary waves, are transverse seismic waves, meaning that the particles being effected by the wave are moving perpendicular to the wave's propagation.
How do seismic waves affect us?
Seismic waves affect us because they are what causes the motion from an earthquake that destroy buildings and such. The three types of seismic waves are surface waves primary waves also called P-waves and secondary waves also called S-waves.
How do scientists classify seismic waves?
The wave are classified as their motion respect to their propagation.
What is seismic shaking-?
"Seismic" refers to an earthquake, so seismic shaking is the shaking motion of the earth (and things on it) caused by an earthquake. There are different waves that emanate from the hypocenter, or point of origin.

In which type of waves is the motion of the particles perpendicular to the direction that wave is traveling?
Transverse waves have particle motion perpendicular to the direction of wave travel. Examples include light waves, water waves, and seismic S-waves.
What is a a wave where the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion?
A transverse wave is a type of wave where the oscillation of particles is perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion. Examples include light waves, water waves, and seismic S waves.
What type of waves is the motion of the particles perpendicular to the direction wave is traveling?
Transverse waves have a motion of particles that is perpendicular to the direction of the wave's travel. This type of wave is common in electromagnetic waves such as light and radio waves, as well as in mechanical waves like ocean waves and seismic waves.
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
Which seismic wave causes particles in the ground to move perpendicular to the wave's propagation?
S waves, or secondary waves, are transverse seismic waves, meaning that the particles being effected by the wave are moving perpendicular to the wave's propagation.
S waves are longitudinal seismic waves?
This statement is incorrect. S waves are actually transverse seismic waves, meaning they move particles perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Longitudinal seismic waves are known as P waves.
What seismic wave moves in a push-pull motion?
P-waves, or Primary waves, are seismic waves that move in a push-pull motion. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
What waves occur when the motion of the medium is at the right angles?
Transverse waves occur when the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. In these waves, the vibrations are up and down, side to side, or in any direction perpendicular to the wave's direction of propagation. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, water waves, and seismic S-waves.
What kind of waves vibrate from side to side and up and down?
Transverse waves vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation. This means they oscillate in a side-to-side and up-and-down motion. Examples include light waves, water waves, and seismic S-waves.
Shearing seismic waves that move rocks and other matter in a direction perpendicular to the waves are traveling?
Primary waves (p waves)
