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.
Wave that moves rock particles in a backward rolling motion and a side-to-side swaying motion?
These are called Surface waves
What are the seismic waves from the focus that are perpendicular to this motion?
secondary waves.......... i think
What is another name for surface waves?
another name for pressure wave is a P-wave EDIT: Another name for P-waves or Pressure waves are Compressional, Longitudinal, P, Dilation waves. The particle motion is in the direction of wave propagation These waves occur in Solids, Liquids, and Gases whereas Shear, transverse, S, or equivoluminal waves only occur in solids.
What is the function of ratchet handle?
to allow linear or rotary motion in one direction while preventing motion in opposite direction
What are the waves that the partices of the medium move only in the same direction as the motion of the wave?
Such waves are called Longitudinal Waves.
What is direction of a waves motion called?
Well, it's often referred to as the direction of propagation of the wave.
What waves occurs when the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the waves?
amplitude Longitudinal waves occurs when the motion of the medium. This is parallel to the direction of the wave.
What waves occur when the motion of medium is parallel to the direction of the wave?
amplitude Longitudinal waves occurs when the motion of the medium. This is parallel to the direction of the wave.
Waves occur when the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave?
amplitude Longitudinal waves occurs when the motion of the medium. This is parallel to the direction of the wave.
What is waves occur when the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave?
amplitude Longitudinal waves occurs when the motion of the medium. This is parallel to the direction of the wave.
What waves occur when the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave?
amplitude Longitudinal waves occurs when the motion of the medium. This is parallel to the direction of the wave.
What type of waves occur when the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave?
Longitudinal waves occur where the motion of the medium is parallel to the waves.
In which waves do propagation and particles motion occur in the same direction?
p waves (i think)
In which type of waves is the motion of the particles perpendicular to the direction of the wave is traveling?
transverse waves
Transverse waves vibrate to the direction it travels?
perpendicular to or at right angles to their direction of motion
What type of wave occurs when the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave?
Longitudinal waves occur where the motion of the medium is parallel to the waves.
