What else can I help you with?
Is an earthquake a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
Is a tidal wave a longitudinal?
A tidal wave, often referred to as a tsunami, is primarily a series of ocean waves caused by disturbances such as underwater earthquakes. These waves are not classified as longitudinal waves; instead, they are surface waves that involve both longitudinal and transverse wave properties. In contrast, longitudinal waves consist of compressions and rarefactions, like sound waves. Thus, while a tidal wave involves complex motion, it is not purely longitudinal.
What type of earthquake wave travels in a push and pull movement?
The Primary or P-wave which is a type of compression or longitudinal wave travels with a push and pull movement.
What do longitudinal waves have to do with earthquakes?
The disturbance from an earthquake propagates as a wave. This wave can be either longitudinal or transverse. (Since waves that pass through the Earth's core are always longitudinal, geologists conclude that the Earth is liquid. A liquid won't transport transverse waves.)
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
An example of a purely longitudinal wave is a?
Sound wave is an example of a purely longitudinal wave. In a sound wave, the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave is moving, creating compressions and rarefactions as the wave travels through the medium.
Is an earthquake wave a longitudinal ver a transverse wave?
It can be either.
When a longitudinal wave is combined with a tranverse wave the result is?
An earthquake.
Is an earthquake a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
Are waves plucked on a guitar string purely longitudinal wave?
No.
Which type of wave has both transverse and longitudinal characteristics?
Earthquake wave.
What is the fastest moving earthquake wave?
The P-wave which is a form of body wave known as a compression or longitudinal wave.
A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave is?
A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave is known as a sound wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves as they require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through.
What kind of wave has matter that moves in the same direction as the wave travels?
Longitudinal wave.
What kind of wave moves in thesame direction as the wave?
A longitudinal wave is a type of wave that moves in the same direction as the wave's propagation. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium oscillate parallel to the direction of the wave's motion. Sound waves in air are an example of longitudinal waves.
What type of seismic wave travels through earth?
The P-wave is a compression / longitudinal wave and so unlike the S-wave is able to travel through the liquid outer core.
What kind of wave moves in the same direction matter moves?
Such a wave is called a longitudinal wave.
