What else can I help you with?
What is it called when a selsmic wave bounces backward when it reaches a boundary?
It is called seismic wave reflection. When a seismic wave encounters a boundary between different materials with contrasting density or rigidity, some of the wave energy is reflected back towards the source.
What do you call the center of a seismic wave?
The center of a seismic wave is called the focus or hypocenter. This is the point within the Earth where the seismic waves originate.
What is another word for seismic waves?
earthquake wave or shock wave
What makes a seismic wave happen?
Seismic waves are generated when there is a sudden release of energy from within the Earth's crust, such as an earthquake or explosion. This energy travels through the Earth as waves, causing the ground to shake. The type of seismic wave produced depends on the type of energy release and the properties of the Earth's layers it travels through.
What happens to the total energy in a seismic wave as the wave grows increasingly larger?
The total energy in a seismic wave remains constant as the wave grows larger. The energy is spread out over a larger area, resulting in lower energy concentration at any specific point.

What is it called when s sesmic wave bounces backward when it reaches a boundary?
Reflection.
What seismic wave causes the most damage?
Seismic wave
What can locate a seismic wave?
A seismograph can locate a seismic wave.
What type of wave is the fastest?
The fastest wave is the electromagnetic wave. Of the seismic waves, the P-wave is the fastest seismic wave.
How do you stop a seismic wave?
You need a shotgun and shoot the wave and that's how you stop a seismic wave
What happens to seismic waves when they hit the MOHO?
When seismic waves hit the Moho (Mohorovičić discontinuity), they can either be reflected back to the surface, refracted as they pass through the boundary, or converted into a different type of wave. This boundary separates the Earth's crust from the underlying mantle, resulting in changes in seismic wave behavior.
Are shear waves and seismic waves the same?
A shear wave is a type of seismic wave.
Which type of a wave is a surface wave?
a seismic wave
Which earthquake wave is not a seismic wave?
the sound wave
What is a seismic wave that causes particules of rock to vibrate in the same direction which the wave is moving?
That would be a P-wave or Primary wave which is a longitudinal seismic wave.
Can there be a seismic wave without having an earthquake?
It is possible to have a seismic wave without having an earthquake. Any wave moving through the ground is a seismic wave, and all earthquakes are seismic waves. But seismic waves can be created by volcanic action, landslides, meteor strikes or the like. Though all earthquakes are seismic waves, not all seismic waves are earthquakes.
