When the shift occurs in the earths crust the energy radiates as what?

When a shift occurs in the Earth's crust, the energy can radiate as seismic waves. These waves travel through the Earth's interior and can be detected and measured by seismographs. Depending on the type of fault movement, the seismic waves produced can be either compressional (P-waves) or shear (S-waves).


Do p waves travel through earths mantle?

Yes, P-waves (primary waves) can travel through the Earth's mantle. P-waves are a type of seismic wave that is capable of propagating through solid, liquid, and gaseous materials. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through the mantle, which is the layer between the Earth's crust and core.


Which wave is refracted by earths core?

Primary Waves(P-Waves)


Is the shifting of earths crust with the release of energy is a p wave?

no it's an earthquake.

In what direction do seismic waves carry the energy of an earthquake?

Seismic waves are the earths crust vibrating. there are two types of waves P-waves and S-waves (Primary and Secondary) Primary waves travel faster than s waves and can travel through solid and liquid, S-waves can only travel through solids


When part of earth's crust breaks what waves pass through the earth?

When part of the Earth's crust breaks, seismic waves pass through the Earth. These waves include primary (P) waves, secondary (S) waves, and surface waves. P waves are the fastest and can travel through both solids and liquids, while S waves are slower and can only travel through solids. Surface waves cause the most damage during an earthquake.


Which wave type is formed when the wave reach the earths surface?

L waves are formed when P&S waves reach the surface.


In which layers can P waves pass through?

P waves can pass through the Earth's inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. They are the fastest seismic waves and are the first to be recorded on seismographs during an earthquake.


What are two ways that P waves are different from S waves?

Body waves travel through the inside of earth's surface.Surface waves travel through the top part of earth's crust


Are p-waves compression waves which push the crust together and pull it apart as they travel?

Yes! P-waves are indeed compression or longitudinal waves which push the crust together and pull it apart as they travel. They are also able to travel through liquids and gasses, unlike S-waves (shear or transverse waves) which can only travel through solids.
