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 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.
How does the energy from the sun reach the earth?
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
What are waves of energy that travel through earth?
Sound waves
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
How does the suns energy reach Earth?
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
How does theral energy travel through the vacuum between the earth and the sun?
as electromagnetic radiation
How does the sun give its energy to the Earth when space has no gravity?
The light travel directly through the vacuum and reaches earth
Why does the energy from the sun travel to Earth by radiation instead of by convection or conduction.?
Convection and conduction require matter to travel through, and there is no matter between Earth and the Sun
Why does the energy from the sun travel to Earth by radiation instead of by convection or conduction?
Convection and conduction require matter to travel through, and there is no matter between Earth and the Sun
What forms of electromagnetic energy carry most of the energy of the sun to earth?
It is radiated electromagnetic energy, the only sort that can travel through space.
Vibrations that travel through Earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake?
It is a seismic wave.
