What does seismic mean?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
What are two categories of seismic waves?
The two main categories of seismic waves are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the Earth.

What characteristic of seismic waves tell you this?
Seismic waves are the waves that rapidly move through the earth's crust causing a shift in techtonic plates. These waves tell us how strong an earthquake was.
How does from an earthquake reach Earth's surface?
energy reachs earth surface through seismic waves: P waves S waves and Surface waves
What part of earth does not receive seismic waves?
The epicenter does not recive seismic waves.
What portion of earth that does not receive any seismic waves from a particular earthquake?
The portion of Earth that does not receive any seismic waves from a particular earthquake is known as a seismic shadow zone. This occurs due to the specific angle at which seismic waves travel through the Earth's interior, causing them to be absorbed or refracted in a way that prevents detection in certain areas.
What does seismic?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
How do seismic waves move through earth?
How do scientists use seismic waves to study the Earth
Is seismic waves and earthquake waves the same?
Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.
Which station would receive no seismic waves?
A seismic station located directly above the earthquake's epicenter would receive no seismic waves as the waves would originate below the station, preventing them from reaching it.
What does seismic mean?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
What is the portion on earth that does not receive any seismic eaves from a particular earquake?
The region on Earth where seismic waves from a particular earthquake are not detected is known as the seismic shadow zone. This zone occurs between 104 to 140 degrees from the earthquake's epicenter because seismic waves are refracted and reflected by the Earth's outer core.
What do earthquakes produce that travel through Earth?
Earthquakes produce seismic waves that travel through the Earth's interior. There are two main types of seismic waves: P-waves (primary waves) and S-waves (secondary waves). These waves can be detected and studied to better understand the properties of the Earth's interior.
What earth event creates seismic waves?
Earthquakes are the most common earth event that creates seismic waves. When rocks break and move along a fault line, energy is released in the form of seismic waves that travel through the Earth's crust, leading to earthquakes.
What are earth waves called?
They're called 'seismic' waves.
What do we call earthquake waves?
Earthquake waves are called seismic waves. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves, which travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface. These waves are responsible for the shaking and damage caused by earthquakes.
