What else can I help you with?
These waves originate at the focus and can travel through all tyes of matter?
Seismic p
What travels faster P waves or S waves?
S-waves are stronger, but travel slower and can only travel through solids.
Where do tidal waves originate where do they end?
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.
Why are the transverse waves produced by an earthquake known as secondary waves?
The Transverse waves show up second in time, they are slower than the Primary Waves.
What are the first waves to leave the focus after an earthquake?
p waves
These waves are slower than those that originate at the focus.?
Surface waves are slower than body waves like P-waves and S-waves because they travel along the Earth's surface instead of through the interior. Surface waves typically cause the most damage during an earthquake due to their combination of horizontal and vertical motion.
What kind of waves originate at the focus and can travel through all types of matter?
p waves
What wave does not originate from the focus?
Surface waves do not originate from the focus. These waves are created when seismic energy reaches the Earth's surface and move horizontally along it, causing the ground to move in a rolling motion.
These waves originate at the focus and can travel through all tyes of matter?
Seismic p
What do you call the center of a seismic wave?
The center of a seismic wave is called the focus or hypocenter. This is the point within the Earth where the seismic waves originate.
What is the definition of a focus in an earthquake?
In geological terms, it is the point below the Earth's surface where seismic waves originate during an earthquake.
What is the point of the earth where seismic waves originate called?
It is the focus or hypocenter and is the point of initial breakage and movement along the fault.
Do ocean waves travel faster or slower than primary waves or secondary waves?
only faster not slower.
Are p and s waves produced at the epicenter?
Primary (P) waves : Primary waves, the fastest wave sent , come from the focus not the epicenter. (S) waves : Secondary waves, the second fastest wave sent out by an earthquake, it comes from the focus also.
Compared to P waves and S waves do surface waves move slower or faster?
Surface waves move slower than P waves and S waves. They travel along the surface of the Earth and are primarily responsible for the damage caused by earthquakes, as they have a larger amplitude and longer period.
What travels faster P waves or S waves?
S-waves are stronger, but travel slower and can only travel through solids.
What is directly below the epicenter of an earthquake?
The point directly below the epicenter of an earthquake is known as the hypocenter or focus. This is where the seismic waves originate and the point within the Earth where the energy is released from the seismic event.
