Does a surface wave go through the body of the earth or along the surface?
Surface waves (as the name suggests) travel along Earth's surface. Seismic waves that travel through earth's interior are known instead as body waves.
What are waves generated by an earthquake that travel through earth or along its surface?
These are known as seismic waves.
How many miles are in one degree?
One degree of latitude, and one degree of longitude along the equator only, is equivalent to roughly 69.1 miles (111 km). One degree of latitude, and of longitude on the equator only, is also equal to about 60 nautical miles.
How do different types of seismic waves affect the rocks through which they travel?
Seismic waves travel through rocks in various ways, primarily categorized as primary (P) waves, secondary (S) waves, and surface waves. P waves are compressional waves that compress and expand the material, causing it to move back and forth in the direction of wave propagation, which can lead to elastic deformation. S waves, being shear waves, move rocks perpendicular to their direction of travel, causing more complex movements and often resulting in shear stress that can lead to fractures or faults. Surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface, typically cause the most damage, generating rolling or swaying motions that can significantly weaken structures and disturb the ground.
What does arrow show on the map?
An arrow on a map typically indicates direction or movement, pointing towards a specific location or along a route. It can also signify the orientation of the map itself, indicating which way is north. In some cases, arrows may represent paths, travel routes, or flow of traffic, helping users navigate effectively.
If you were to travel from the geographic south pole in a straight line in any direction in which direction would you travel northsoutheast or west?
If you travel along a line of longitude from the South Pole, you would travel directly northwards.
Why do you have to have negative acceleraton?
A negative acceleration, or deceleration, is the cause of unbalanced forces, where the force opposing the direction of travel is greater than the force along the direction of travel.
Which force can change the direction of a moving object?
Based on Newton's first Law of Motion, any (net, if two or more forces are at work) force acting on a moving object, and that, when resolved, having a component orthogonal to the direction of travel, will change the direction of the object. Simplistically, that is any force that acts on the object at an angle to the direction of motion. Resolution of a vector (of which force is a member) involves breaking down the vector along the three orthogonal axes (x, y, and z in the Cartesian system). For the sake of convenience, one of three axes should be along the direction of travel. =================================
In which direction does a parellel or line of latitude run?
Latitude lines run from east to west, parallel to the equator. Longitudinal lines are perpendicular to latitude lines and run north to south.
When light is traveling along the normal will its direction change?
No, when light travels along the normal, its direction will not change. The normal is the line perpendicular to a surface, so light traveling along it will continue to travel in a straight path, without any deflection.
Do the vibrations of a transverse wave move in a direction along the direction of wave travel?
No, in a transverse wave, the vibrations of the medium are perpendicular to the direction of wave travel. The particles of the medium oscillate up and down or side to side as the wave passes through.
How does longitudinal wave travel?
Longitudinal waves are waves that have the same direction of vibration along their direction of travel, which means that the vibration of the medium (particle) is in the same direction or opposite direction as the motion of the wave. Mechanical longitudinal waves have been also referred to as compressional waves or compression waves
What large surface current runs along the east coast of the United States and what direction does it travel?
Coriolis effect
Which velocity component changes along the path?
The motion of a projectile is a combination of two motions, a constant speed motion in the horizontal direction, and an accelerated motion in the vertical direction. The velocity component that changes along the path is Vy.
How far can you travel a long the equator before going west?
The only ways you can travel along the equator is by going due west or due east and you can do it indefinately. Any other direction you would not be travelling along the equator
What two things can change in velocity do?
Two things that can change in velocity are speed and direction. Speed refers to the rate at which an object is moving, while direction indicates the path along which the object is moving. Both speed and direction can change independently to result in a change in velocity.
Can a particle moving with uniform speed along a curved path have acceleration?
Yes, a particle moving with uniform speed along a curved path can have acceleration because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, which includes changes in direction even if speed remains constant. In this case, the acceleration would be due to the change in velocity direction as the particle moves along the curved path.
