I think liquids if wrong update answer please cause i don't kno :?
You are correct, liquids is the correct answer.
solid
yes, their speed is about 60% of the speed of a p-wave through a given material. s-waves are also known as surface waves or secondary waves. they are known as secondary waves because they occur second because of their slower speed.
P waves (primary waves) are longitudinal or compressional waves, which means that the ground is alternately compressed and dilated in the direction of propagation. In solids, these waves generally travel almost twice as fast as S waves and can travel through any type of material. In air, these pressure waves take the form of sound waves, hence they travel at the speed of sound. Typical speeds are 330 m/s in air, 1450 m/s in water and about 5000 m/s in granite. When generated by an earthquake they are less destructive than the S waves and surface waves that follow them, due to their bigger amplitudes.
Earthquakes are made up of 4 different seismic waves, P, S, L and R. L and R are surface waves, and have virtually nothing to do with the interior. However, P and S are body waves and do. P waves are compressional waves, that is they push and pull against rock in the same direction as the waves move. They are the fastest. S waves vibrate material up and down. Both travel faster in more dense material, and P waves travel slower in liquid while S waves are unable to move through liquid at all. As the Earth's outer core is liquid, and inner core is very dense, this affects the waves as they travel through the Earth. It speeds them up and slows them down according to the density. Because S can't go through the outer core, there is a "shadow zone" at a certain area on the Earth where there are no S waves at all. P waves also have a smaller shadow zone, where the waves are diflected and bent within the outer core.
Their velocity (P-waves travel more quickly than S-waves) and their mode of propagation (the way they move through the earth). S-waves are transverse waves which move material from side to side (particle motion is normal to direction of travel) whereas P-waves are compression or longitudinal waves where particle motion is parallel to the direction of travel. This means that P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses whereas S-waves can only travel through solids.
body waves and surface waves
in fluid and gas
P waves (primary waves) are longitudinal or compressional waves. In solids, these waves generally travel almost twice as fast as S waves and can travel through any type of material. In air, these pressure waves take the form of sound waves, hence they travel at the speed of sound. Typical speeds are 330 m/s in air, 1450 m/s in water and about 5000 m/s in Granite.S waves (secondary waves) are Transverse_waveversewaves or shear waves, which means that the ground is displaced perpendicularly to the direction of propagation. In the case of horizontally polarized S waves, the ground moves alternately to one side and then the other. S waves can travel only through solids, as fluids (liquids and gases) do not support shear stresses. Their speed is about 60% of that of P waves in a given material. S waves arrive second in a seismic station because of their slower speed.
yes, their speed is about 60% of the speed of a p-wave through a given material. s-waves are also known as surface waves or secondary waves. they are known as secondary waves because they occur second because of their slower speed.
The two types of body waves are longitudinal and transverse waves. In seismology longitudinal waves are known as P-waves (P = primary as they are detected by seismometers before the other seismic waves) and transverse waves are known as S-waves (S = secondary). In longitudinal waves the material oscillates or moves backwards and forwards parallel to the direction of wave motion (a bit like someone opening and closing an accordion). In transverse waves, the material oscillates normal (at 90 degrees) to the direction of wave motion.
sound waves
Two waves of equal magnitude but opposite phase interfere with one another to cause the waves to disappear. This is caused by
Transverse
absorption
sound waves
Their velocity (P-waves travel more quickly than S-waves) and their mode of propagation (the way they move through the earth). S-waves are transverse waves which move material from side to side (particle motion is normal to direction of travel) whereas P-waves are compression or longitudinal waves where particle motion is parallel to the direction of travel. This means that P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses whereas S-waves can only travel through solids.
seismic waves actually the correct answer is S waves. trust me if you put seismic waves it will be wrong
