What are three categories of seismic waves?
Surface waves, P-waves, and S-waves.
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.
What are the seismic waves of the Earth's crust?
Rock under stress breaks at the focus, releasing energy and vibrations called seismic waves, which travel away from the focus, through Earth's interior, and across the surface. The three types of seismic waves are: Primary waves: The first to arrive at seismographs Secondary waves: The second to arrive at seismographs Surface waves: The last and most severe to arrive at seismographs
What are seismic waves also called?
Seismic sea waves are also called a tsunami.
What does seismic mean?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
What are the three seismic waves?
They are P Waves S Waves and Surface Waves.
What are three categories of seismic waves?
Surface waves, P-waves, and S-waves.
Which is The most damaging of the three kinds of seismic waves?
The surface waves
Are the three types of seismic waves the same?
no, there are p-waves, s-waves, surface waves
What are the three different seismic waves?
Seismic Waves:Surface WavesPrimary WavesSecondary Waves-Hope this helps :D-Dinaly Is Cool.

How many types of seismic waves are produced at the same time in an earthquake?
3 main, not sure if there's other devices. (seismoscope, seismometer, ???)
What are the two types of waves?
The three types of seismic waves are:P waves, S waves, and Surface waves
Is seismic waves and earthquake waves the same?
Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.
What are the two types of surface wave?
The three types of seismic waves are:P waves, S waves, and Surface waves
What does seismic?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
What are the first seismic waves to arrive at a seismic station?
P-waves are the first to arrive at a seismic station. There are two major types of waves: Body waves and surface waves. P-waves and S-waves come under Body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves come under surface waves. Body waves are much faster than the Surface waves. Waves are detected in the following order: P, S, Love and Rayleigh
