The P wave
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
The Primary or P-wave which is a type of compression or longitudinal wave travels with a push and pull movement.
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.)
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
Sound waves. Also ocean waves. Also earthquake waves. Also explosion waves.
Sound Wave
An earthquake.
It can be either.
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
Earthquake wave.
No.
longitudinal wave
Seismic. Waves. Earthquake.
The P-wave which is a form of body wave known as a compression or longitudinal wave.
Longitudinal Wave:The oscillation is is parallel to the direction of wave travel.Example:sound, spring,"P_type" earthquake waveTransverse Waves:The Oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.Example:radio or light waves , string, "S-type", earthquake waves.
longitudinal wave
both, a longitudinal and transverse wave.
