there isnt a difference moron
The difference in arrival times of P and S waves.
A seismic travel time curve describes the relation between the travel time of a seismic wave and the epicentral distance. It is used to calculate the calculate the distance of the earthquake's epicenter from the seismograph.
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
Seismic wave
That the mountain was forced up by seismic plate pressure.

tsunami's happen underwater and seismic waves happen on land or underground.
the difference between a bathymetric profile and a seismic reading is that a bathymetric has salt water and is located on the benthic zone on the ocean floor. The seismic reading on the other hand occurs on land shore and with living animals like turtles and crabs.
Sound wave is is generated by a vibrating object.Whereas, seismic wave is the vibration generated by an earthquake or explosion.
seismic: pertaining to, of the nature of, or caused by an earthquake orvibration of the earth, whether due to natural or artificial causes. aseismic: free from earthquakes.
A tsunami wave is a wave of energy that travels through water, while a seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through earth.
The difference in arrival times of P and S waves.
The distance between a seismic station and the earthquake epicenter is determined from the S-P interval, which is the time difference between the time of arrival of the first P wave and the first S wave.
The distance between a seismic station and the earthquake epicenter is determined from the S-P interval, which is the time difference between the time of arrival of the first P wave and the first S wave.
A seismic wave is created by a earthquake.
P-waves which are a compression or pressure wave are the fastest seismic waves. As they are the fastest they will reach the seismic station before any of the other seismic waves and be recorded first. Seismologists can use the difference between the arrival times of different seismic waves to calculate the distance and ultimately the location of the earthquakes epicentre.
