How does from an earthquake reach Earth's surface?
energy reachs earth surface through seismic waves: P waves S waves and Surface waves
Why does the energy from the sun travel to earth by radiation instead of by covection or conduction?
The sun moves through the electromagnetic waves. Conduction and Convection transfers energy between differences in density.
What is vibrations that travel through earth carrying the energy released during and earthquake?
A specific type of mechanical wave known as a seismic wave.
Do seismic waves need a medium to travel through?
Seismic, or earthquake waves travel through the earth. They may travel through our crust, which is rocky, or through the more fluid parts, like the mantle, but the medium is the earth.
What type of waves is produced during an earthquake?
Seismic waves consist ofP waves which travel through the Earth fast. They compress the medium they travel through;S waves which also travel through the Earth, shearing the solid Earth as they go. S waves do not travel through liquid;Surface waves which can cause the Earth to undulate like water waves or surface waves that cause the Earth to shear.
What are waves of energy that travel through earth?
Sound waves
How does the energy from the sun reach the earth?
Energy from the sun reaches the Earth through electromagnetic radiation, primarily in the form of visible light. This light travels through the vacuum of space and reaches the Earth's atmosphere, where it is absorbed and converted into heat energy.
What are earthquake generated waves called?
Earthquake generated waves are called seismic waves. These are waves of energy that travel through the Earth's layers. Their velocity depends on the elasticity and density of the medium that they travel through.
What is energy transferred by waves moving the the ground called?
The energy transferred by waves moving through the ground is called seismic energy. Seismic waves are generated by events such as earthquakes or explosions, and they can travel through the Earth's interior and cause vibrations and shaking at the surface.
How does the sun give its energy to the Earth when space has no gravity?
The sun gives its energy to the Earth through electromagnetic radiation, primarily in the form of sunlight. Gravity doesn't play a direct role in the transfer of energy from the sun to the Earth. Space may be a vacuum, but light and energy can still travel through it.
How does the sun' energy travel to the earth?
Electromagnetic radiation... i.e., light. Electromagnetic Waves A+
What does energy travel through before hitting the earth's surface?
dookie and halitosis
Vibrations that travel through Earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake?
Seismic waves are vibrations that travel through the Earth's layers, carrying the energy released during an earthquake. These waves can be classified into two main types: body waves that travel through the Earth's interior and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface. Seismometers are used to detect and record these waves.
How does the suns energy reach Earth?
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
How does heat energy from the sun get to the earth?
RadiationHeat can't travel through a vacuum, directly, so the sun emits energy as light. The earth receives about a two billionth of the sunlight emitted, but the light is converted to heat and other energy forms.
How does theral energy travel through the vacuum between the earth and the sun?
as electromagnetic radiation
Does radiant energy require a medium through which to travel?
No, radiant energy, such as electromagnetic waves, can travel through a vacuum because it does not require a medium to propagate. This is why electromagnetic energy from the Sun can reach us here on Earth through the vacuum of space.
