They're seismic waves. seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the Earth's layers, and are a result of an earthquake, explosion, or a volcano that imparts low-frequency acoustic energy. Many other natural and anthropogenic sources create low amplitude waves commonly referred to as ambient vibrations. Seismic waves are studied by geophysicists called seismologists. Seismic wave fields are recorded by a seismometer, hydrophone (in water), or accelerometer.
What else can I help you with?
What type of wave do you think were useful to seismologists in their study of the earth's interior?
P waves and S waves
What type of waves are genered by earthquakes?
Primary Waves, Secondary Waves, and Surface Waves.
What type of waves do fluids transmit and why?
fluids usually transmit only what type of waves
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.
Which seismic wave type arrives first during an earthquake?
The P Waves. Then the S Waves.
What type of seismic wave are P waves and S waves?
P and S waves are body waves.
What type of wave is P wave?
Body Waves
Which type of seismic waves travel through earth?
A Body Wave.
What type of wave do you think were useful to seismologists in their study of the earth's interior?
P waves and S waves
Which body tissue transmits waves of excitation?
The body tissue that transmits waves of excitation is nervous tissue. This type of tissue is found in the nervous system and it is made up of neurons.
Which type of body wave always arrives second?
Love waves always arrive second in a seismic event, following the arrival of the faster moving P-waves. These surface waves are the second type of body wave to arrive, known for their horizontal shearing motion that causes more damage during an earthquake.
Which wave is a body wave?
A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface. P and S waves are body waves. Each type of wave shakes the ground in different ways.
What type of energy is used with full body scanners in the aiport?
Those are "millimeter waves" ... radio waves in the general neighborhood of 300 GHz.
Is a P-wave a body wave?
Yes. In a seismic context, P and S waves are body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves are surface waves.
How are surfaces different from body waves?
A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface. P and S waves are body waves. Each type of wave shakes the ground in different ways.
Type of wave generated by an earthquake?
Seismic waves are the type of waves generated by an earthquake. These waves travel through the Earth and are responsible for the shaking and ground motion associated with earthquakes. There are different types of seismic waves, including P-waves, S-waves, and surface waves.
What is the most common type of wave associated with major earthquakes?
The most common type of wave associated with major earthquakes is the seismic waves known as body waves. These waves travel through the Earth's interior and include P-waves (primary waves) and S-waves (secondary waves). They are responsible for the initial shaking felt during an earthquake.
