water waves are the movement of water bodies in respond to disturbances which may include a moving boat, a fallen pebble, or movement in the direction of the wind. while seismic waves are vibration generated by earthquake explosion or similar energetic source and propagated within the earth interior or along its surface.
What else can I help you with?
What waves go through the earth's atmosphere?
Elastic waves, particularly sound waves and seismic waves, can travel through the Earth's atmosphere. Sound waves propagate through the air, while seismic waves are generated by earthquakes and travel through the Earth's crust and mantle.
What type of seismic waves that arrive at the surface first and move by compressing and expanding the ground like an accordion?
Primary waves (P-waves) are the seismic waves that arrive at the surface first and move by compressing and expanding the ground, similar to an accordion. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
What is another name for earthquake waves?
Seismic waves.
What type of seismic waves that arrived at the surface first and move by compressing and expanding the ground like an accordion are called?
P 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 examples of longitudinal waves?
Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves, seismic waves, and sound waves in solids (such as ultrasound waves). These waves propagate by compressing and rarefying the medium in the direction of wave motion.
How are sound waves and seismic waves alike?
they're mechanical waves
What happens to seismic waves in the air?
In air, the seismic waves(P-wave) are simply sound waves, and travel with the speed of sound (approx. 335 m/s).
A difference between sound waves and seismic waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves that travel through mediums such as air, while seismic waves are a combination of both longitudinal (P-waves) and transverse (S-waves) waves that travel through the Earth’s interior. Seismic waves are typically caused by geological events like earthquakes, while sound waves are produced by vibrating sources like speakers or instruments.
What is an example mechanical waves?
Ocean waves, seismic waves, and sound waves are some examples.
What are sound waves produced by a vibrating object?
SEISMIC WAVES.Tranverse Waves.
What is an mechanical wave?
Ocean waves, seismic waves, and sound waves are some examples.
What is wave mechanisms?
Ocean waves, seismic waves, and sound waves are some examples.
What waves go through the earth's atmosphere?
Elastic waves, particularly sound waves and seismic waves, can travel through the Earth's atmosphere. Sound waves propagate through the air, while seismic waves are generated by earthquakes and travel through the Earth's crust and mantle.
How does earthquake energy travel in seismic waves?
A seismic wave is a mechanical wave - similar to a sound. Basically, the energy of the wave is propagated by groups of atoms hitting into the next group of atoms.
What type of seismic wave is closest to sound waves?
tamera
How are waves related to sound energy and seismic energy?
Waves are the carriers of both sound energy and seismic energy. In the case of sound energy, it is carried through compressional waves in the air or other mediums. For seismic energy, it is transmitted through elastic waves in the Earth's crust. In both cases, the energy is transferred through the vibration of particles.
