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
What type is a BODY WAVE?
A body wave is a type of seismic wave that travels through the interior of the Earth. There are two main types of body waves: primary (P) waves, which are compressional waves that move faster and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, and secondary (S) waves, which are shear waves that only travel through solids. Body waves are essential for understanding the Earth's internal structure and are used in seismology to locate and analyze earthquakes.
Which type of seismic waves travel through earth?
A Body Wave.
What type of body waves do not travel through liquids?
S-waves, or secondary waves, are a type of body wave that do not travel through liquids. They are shear waves that require a solid medium to propagate, which is why they are unable to move through liquid layers of the Earth, such as the outer core. In contrast, P-waves, or primary waves, can travel through both solids and liquids.
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.
