What Type of seismic wave that travels the fastest through rock material by causing rocks to vibrate in the same directions as the waves?
secondary waves
How did the p wave get named?
It stands for Primary wave, just as S wave stands for Secondary wave. It's the first wave that comes in an earthquake. C:
What type of waves are primary waves?
A primary wave is a strong vibration or wave that hits earths surface (P) and a secondary wave (S) is a wave that hits soon after but not nearly as big.
What wave is a transverse wave that occurs with earthquakes?
S-waves (or Secondary waves) and Love waves are both transverse seismic waves.
After an earthquake which type of seismic waves reach seismometers last?
A surface wave is the last seismic wave to arrive after an earthquake.
Which type of wave is a secondary wave?
Any wave has two directions: the up and down direction (primary wave) and the side to side direction (secondary wave).
Which type of earthquake wave is felt second at any given location near the earthquake?
The Secondary or S-wave.
What is secondary wave?
The S-wave is the secondary seismic wave.
What type of wave cannot travel completely through water?
The S Wave (Secondary Wave) cannot travel through water. On the P Wave (Primary Wave) and the Surface Wave can travel through water.
Which type of body wave always arrives after the P-wave?
The next type of seismic wave to arrive after the P-wave is the S-wave.
What is a sentence for secondary wave?
The secondary wave of the earthquake cause little damage, only a few buildings fell.
Is an S Wave a Secondary Wave?
Yes
What wave is called the secondary wave?
primary
What type of seismic wave causes rock to move at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels?
this wave is called a tsunami and can destroy a whole city/town.
What type of waves move through earth by causing particles of rocks to move at right angles to the direction of the waves?
A secondary wave causes rocks to vibrate at 90 degrees. This earthquake wave can travel through solids but not through liquids, and causes rock particles to vibrate at right angles to the direction of wave travel.
What does the s stand for in s waves?
S-wave stands for : Secondary wave. It comes after the P-wave and goes before the L-wave.
Distinguish between a primary wave and a secondary wave?
A primary wave is a strong vibration or wave that hits earths surface (P) and a secondary wave (S) is a wave that hits soon after but not nearly as big.
