What else can I help you with?
What are known as s waves?
S waves, or Secondary waves, are earthquake waves during an earthquake. They crash after P waves ( Primary waves) and are less stronger than surface waves
What do you call an earthquake that occurs after a larger earthquake in the same area?
This is known as an aftershock.
After an earthquake which type of seismic waves reach seismometers last?
A surface wave is the last seismic wave to arrive after an earthquake.
What is an earthquake after shock?
Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes that occur after a larger earthquake in the same area. They are a result of the earths crust near the fault rupture readjusting as a result of the main earthquake (also known as the "main shock").
What are the smaller earthquakes that occur following the main earthquake?
These are known as aftershocks.
What is point the ground directly above the origin of an earthquake?
The point on the surface directly above the origin of an earthquake is known as the epicenter. It is the location where the seismic waves produced by the earthquake first reach the Earth's surface. Scientists use the epicenter to determine the geographic location of the earthquake.
Cells produced by lateral meristems are known as?
Secondary growth results in the formation of cells produced by lateral meristems, which are called secondary growth tissues. These tissues include vascular cambium and cork cambium, which produce secondary xylem and phloem, as well as cork, respectively.
Are secondary waves destructive?
Secondary waves, also known as S-waves, are capable of causing damage to buildings and infrastructure during an earthquake. They have a side-to-side motion that can shake structures perpendicular to the direction of the wave. This can lead to structural failure and contribute to the destruction caused by an earthquake.
What are known as s waves?
S waves, or Secondary waves, are earthquake waves during an earthquake. They crash after P waves ( Primary waves) and are less stronger than surface waves
How do you call the color that are produced by mixing primary colors and secondary colors?
The colors produced by mixing primary colors and secondary colors are known as tertiary colors. These colors are created by combining adjacent primary and secondary colors on the color wheel.
What are the types of waves produced by an earthquake?
it is a well known wave that can easily destroy homes depending on its size, a tsunami!
What are 3 examples of transverse waves?
Light waves: Electromagnetic waves, including visible light, travel in a transverse motion. Water waves: Waves on the surface of water move in a transverse manner, with the particles of water oscillating up and down. Seismic S waves: Secondary seismic waves, also known as S-waves, generated by earthquakes propagate as transverse waves through the Earth's interior.
What is the fastest moving earthquake wave?
The P-wave which is a form of body wave known as a compression or longitudinal wave.
What is the transverse wave that is the second to reach the location of an earthquake?
These are known as the seismic waves or the s waves. They will reach the earthquake location second after the first shock.
What type of waves move through earth by causing particles of rocks to move at right angles to the direction of the waves?
A secondary wave causes rocks to vibrate at 90 degrees. This earthquake wave can travel through solids but not through liquids, and causes rock particles to vibrate at right angles to the direction of wave travel.
What is definition of transverse shear?
Look it The shearing action/force which takes place in y-direction(transverse dirn.)is known as transverse shear...........
What are waves caused by (transverse waves and so on)?
P-waves and S-waves. P waves are known as Primary waves as they have a high velocity and so are recorded at seismometer stations before Secondary or S-waves. P waves may also be known as pressure waves as they are in fact compression or longitudinal waves. S-waves may also be known as shear waves as they are transverse waves.
