Which type of earthquakes waves move the slowest?
The surface waves (composed in turn of the Rayleigh and Love waves) are the slowest seismic waves.
What' type of seismic wave was recorded first on the rotating drum?
The first type of seismic wave recorded on the rotating drum is the primary wave, or P-wave. P-waves are compressional waves that travel the fastest through the Earth's interior, arriving at seismic stations before other types of waves. They can move through both solid and liquid materials, making them the first indication of an earthquake's occurrence.
Will seismic wave traveling through a solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave traveling through liquid why or why not?
why can s-wave can't travel but p-waves can
What type of earthquake wave travels faster?
P-waves(primary waves) travel faster than S-waves(secondary waves)
Will a seismic wave go faster through a liquid or a solid?
Solid, because that kind of wave goes fastest through solids
Is Primary wave the fastest wave?
i think so.. :/ Travel fastest through rock material causing rock particles in the rock to move back or forth
What type of wave is the fastest?
The fastest wave is the electromagnetic wave. Of the seismic waves, the P-wave is the fastest seismic wave.
What is the fastest seismic wave that moves back and forth?
The fastest seismic wave that moves back and forth is the P-wave, or primary wave. P-waves are compressional waves that travel through solids, liquids, and gases and are the first to be detected during an earthquake. They move by causing particles in the material they travel through to vibrate in the same direction as the wave's propagation.
Which seismic wave travels the slowest?
Surface waves, Secondary waves, Primary waves :) I had this as a science question in school a few weeks ago... hope this helps :) Oh whoops i didnt log in so i did it again.... :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
Through what do seismic waves travel fastest?
seismic wave travels faster through solid rock and slower through water, but i dont know why!
What is the speed of seismic waves from the fastest to the slowest is it p waves s waves l wave or all three?
The speed of seismic waves from fastest to slowest is P waves (primary waves), S waves (secondary waves), and then surface waves. L waves are a type of surface wave, so they are generally slower than both P and S waves.
What is the fastest of the seismic waves?
p waves aka primary waves
What is the fastest type of seismic wave?
The fastest type of seismic wave is the primary wave, or P-wave. P-waves are compressional waves that travel through solids, liquids, and gases, and they are the first waves to arrive at a seismograph during an earthquake.
Which wave travel the slowest?
surface wave
Which seismic waves travel the fastest?
Primary waves (P-waves) are the fastest seismic waves and are the first to be detected after an earthquake. They are able to travel through solid rock, liquid, and gas, making them the fastest seismic waves.
What are the three types of seismic waves according to their velocity?
Seismic waves are waves that travel through the Earth or other elastic body2 to 8 kilometersThe primary factor is the composition of the rock that the wave travels through. Secondarily, temperature tends to lower the wave speed and pressure tends to increase the wave speed.
What seismic wave the fastest?
P waves
