Which are faster s waves and p waves or surface waves?
The fast is primary wave which travels through liguid, solid and gas. This how Geologist know the outer core is liquid. Secondary waves travel through only solid. The primary wave are the first to reach the seismograph.
Do P waves do the most destruction during and earthquake?
No, P waves are not usually responsible for the most destruction during an earthquake. P waves are fast-moving seismic waves that usually cause less damage compared to the slower and more destructive S waves and surface waves. The shaking and ground displacement caused by these other waves typically result in the most destruction during an earthquake.
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.
Different features of waves?
If referring to differences in types of waves, their is only longitudinal and tranverse waves in which the only difference is that longitudinal waves move in compressions (such as sound). Transverse waves move in a continuos up and down motion (light waves and displayed in the graph of cosine or sine). The properties of waves are diffraction, refraction, constructive interference, destructive interference, and transfer of energy (this is what a wave is).
What damage do p waves cause?
P waves (primary waves) are the first seismic waves to arrive during an earthquake. While they typically don't cause significant damage, they can still shake buildings and create a buzzing or rumbling sound. P waves travel the fastest through the Earth's layers and are mostly known for their ability to provide early warning of an impending earthquake.
How fast do these waves travel?
really fast man. like super fast.
How fast were the waves going in japan's tsunami?
Very very fast
What is the speed of primary waves?
really fast
How fast are light waves compared to sound waves?
Light is almost a million times faster.
How fast are the p waves compared to s waves?
P waves arrive a couple seconds to a few minutes before s waves.
Are slow waves higher in pitch than fast waves?
Not necessarily. The frequency of a wave is equal to the speed divided by the wavelength so if it is fast and has a low wavelength then it will be high pitched. If it has a very large wavelength though it will have a lower pitch.
Explanation on how fast light travels?
light travels very fast! it travels in the form of waves.
What is the reason for P waves traveling so fast and L waves traveling so slow?
hi
Why does compression happen?
Sound waves move very fast
How fast to brain waves travel?
About 120m per second
What is the speed of the waves?
That means how fast it advances.
What is ther kind of seismic wave that travels fast and increase its speed with depth?
The seismic wave that travels fast and increases its speed with depth is called a primary or P-wave. P-waves are compressional waves that can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, and they are the fastest seismic waves.
