The waves that are slower that those that originate at the focus are called secondary waves or S-waves. They are shear waves that are transverse in nature.
Seismic p
S-waves are stronger, but travel slower and can only travel through solids.
p waves
Tidal waves originate deep within the ocean and end once they reach the coast. They are typically caused by large earthquakes which send shock waves outward from the epicenter.
The Transverse waves show up second in time, they are slower than the Primary Waves.
These waves are slower than those that originate at the focus.
p waves
Waves of movement are the results of the tectonic plates colliding at the focus of the earthquake, causing shock waves or tremors.
Seismic p
Surface waves move slower. P waves are the fastest. Surface waves are the slowest. they are slowest but most destructive.
It is the focus or hypocenter and is the point of initial breakage and movement along the fault.
In geological terms, it is the point below the Earth's surface where seismic waves originate during an earthquake.
Light waves originate from vibrating electrons.
only faster not slower.
s waves are slower and more damaging
S-waves are stronger, but travel slower and can only travel through solids.
No, seismic waves do not end at an earthquake's center. Rather, they originate there.An earthquake has a focus, and this is the center of greatest movement on the plate boundary or intraplate fault involved. It has its epicenter, and this is the center of greatest effect on the surface of the Earth above. The seismic waves are the vibrations of the slip, and radiate from the focus.
