What else can I help you with?
P waves?
seismic waves that puch copmpress and pull in the diection thta waves travel
In what direction do seismic waves carry the energy of an earthquake?
Seismic waves are the earths crust vibrating. there are two types of waves P-waves and S-waves (Primary and Secondary) Primary waves travel faster than s waves and can travel through solid and liquid, S-waves can only travel through solids
Which one of the following statement is true about P waves in question 5?
I'm sorry, but I don't have access to question 5 or any specific context regarding P waves. However, in general, P waves (primary waves) are seismic waves that are the first to arrive at a seismic station during an earthquake. They are compressional waves, meaning they compress and expand the material they travel through, and can move through both solid and liquid layers of the Earth. If you provide more context or details about question 5, I'd be happy to help further!
What does seismic mean?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
What is a seismic travel time curve?
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.
Which seismic waves compress and expand rock in the direction the waves travel?
P Waves

Waves that compress and expand in the direction that the waves travel?
Longitudinal waves.
2 examples of longditudinal waves?
Sound waves in air or water are longitudinal waves where the particles vibrate in the same direction as the wave travels. Seismic waves generated by earthquakes are longitudinal waves that travel through the Earth's interior, causing the ground to compress and expand in the direction of wave propagation.
What are the fastest waves that compress and expand the ground like an accordion?
The fastest waves that compress and expand the ground like an accordion are primary waves (P-waves). These seismic waves are the first to arrive after an earthquake and travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They cause particles in the ground to move in the same direction as the wave itself, resulting in the compressional and expansion effects.
Which direction do Seismic waves travel?
in all directions
Can a p wave travel through gas?
Yes, a P-wave can travel through gas. P-waves are seismic waves that are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They compress and expand the material they travel through, which allows them to propagate through gases as well.
S waves?
seismic waves thta shakes particles at right angles to the dircetion that they travel
Is it true or false as s waves move through the ground they cause it to compress and then expand?
False. S waves (secondary waves) move through the ground by shearing the rock particles side to side, creating a horizontal motion that is perpendicular to their direction of travel. This shearing motion can cause the ground to move in a wave-like pattern, but not compress and then expand as with compressional waves (P waves).
How do you know waves transfer energy in the direction of the travel of wave?
seismic waves travel in all directions. the reason we know is because of earthquakes.
In which direction do seismic waves travel from their point of origin?
Seismic waves travel outward in all directions from their point of origin, which is the focus of an earthquake. The waves propagate through the Earth's interior in various patterns and speeds, with different types of waves exhibiting different behaviors.
What medium seismic waves travel through?
Seismic waves travel through the Earth's interior, primarily through solid rock. They can also travel through other mediums such as magma and other materials found in the Earth's crust and mantle. The speed and direction of seismic waves change as they encounter different materials with varying densities and properties.
