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
Are surface waves compression waves?
No. surface waves on the surface of water is transverse in nature. It has crests and troughs. Compression and rarefaction will be in longitudinal wave. example sound waves.
What are the three categories of seismic waves?
p wave comes first s wave comes next and last comes surface wave.
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 two categories of seismic waves?
The two main categories of seismic waves are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the Earth.
What kind of waves are water waves?
Water waves are formed by the force of the wind agianst the water and air goes forward and finally develops a circular motion. This motion causes a pressure to go down on the surface at its front, and pressure going up and this causes the surface to take on the form of a wave.
Waves that travel at the surface such as Raleigh and long waves?
surface waves, raleigh waves, and long waves.
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
What 2 waves are surface waves?
Love waves and Rayleigh waves are surface waves
Which are more destructive body waves or surface waves?
Surface waves.
When do P waves arrive at the surface in relation to S waves?
when the P waves arrive at the surface in relation to s waves and surface waves is called the promary waves.
When a raindrop hits the surface of a lake circular surface waves form What is true about these surface waves?
The surface waves cannot be classified as transverse or longitudinal waves.
Where do surface waves occur?
surface waves occur on the surface its visible to people and people can surface
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
What type of seismic waves that arrive at the surface first?
Those are the P-waves, which are the fastest and weakest.
Are surface waves the first to arrive at a seismic facilty?
p waves s waves surface waves so no
Where do waves occurs?
surface waves occur on the surface its visible to people and people can surface
