seismic wave are earthquake waves the types are l - waves, p - waves and s- waves they are recorded by seismograph or also called seismograph they form by explosion's, earthquakes and movement (waves) underground.

What earth event creates seismic waves?

Earthquakes are the most common earth event that creates seismic waves. When rocks break and move along a fault line, energy is released in the form of seismic waves that travel through the Earth's crust, leading to earthquakes.

Kind of wave released during an wave?

During an earthquake, seismic waves are released. These waves travel through the Earth and can be detected by seismographs. The main types of seismic waves are P-waves (primary waves), S-waves (secondary waves), and surface waves.


What is a wave of energy released from an earthquake?

A wave of energy released from an earthquake is called a seismic wave. Seismic waves can be classified into body waves, which travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface. These waves are responsible for causing the ground shaking and damage associated with earthquakes.


How is seeismic waves measured?

Seismic waves are measured using seismometers, which detect the ground vibrations created by seismic events like earthquakes. Seismometers record the data in the form of seismograms, which show the amplitude and arrival times of different types of seismic waves such as P-waves and S-waves. By analyzing these seismograms, scientists can determine the characteristics of the seismic event and its location.


What are seismic waves associated with?

Seismic waves are associated with earthquakes.


Are surface waves the fastest seismic waves?

No, they are in fact the slowest! The fastest seismic waves are P-waves.
