what are the subtypes of secondary waves
What else can I help you with?
Which is faster a primary wave or a secondary wave?
Primary waves (P-waves) travel faster than secondary waves (S-waves) through the Earth's interior. P-waves are compressional waves that can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, while S-waves are shear waves that only travel through solids.
Are secondary waves destructive?
Secondary waves, also known as S-waves, are capable of causing damage to buildings and infrastructure during an earthquake. They have a side-to-side motion that can shake structures perpendicular to the direction of the wave. This can lead to structural failure and contribute to the destruction caused by an earthquake.
From which of the following do primary and secondary waves move outward?
Primary waves (P-waves) move outward from the focus of an earthquake, while secondary waves (S-waves) also move outward from the focus. Both types of waves are seismic body waves that travel through the Earth's interior.
How fast do secondary waves travel?
Secondary or S Waves are a form of waves which are produced as a result of shift in tectonic plates during an earthquake. Such waves only travel through solid surfaces and disintegrate upon reaching liquids. They always tend to adapt a back and forth motion as they move along. They are often referred to as "body waves".
What are the three diffrent kinds of seismic waves?
The three main types of seismic waves are P-waves (primary waves), S-waves (secondary waves), and surface waves. P-waves are compressional waves that travel the fastest and can move through both solids and liquids. S-waves are shear waves that move more slowly and only travel through solids. Surface waves are the slowest and travel along the surface of the Earth, causing the most damage during an earthquake.
What are the 2 subtypes of surface wave?
well one is a water Waves, that i know for sure and the other is rope Waves, pretty sure but i could be wrong about that one
What is the sub types of body waves?
The two subtypes of body waves are P waves (primary or compressional waves) and S waves (secondary or shear waves). P waves are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, while S waves are slower and can only travel through solids.
What is the abbreviation for secondary waves?
The abbreviation for secondary waves is S-waves.
Exept where can secondary waves travel?
secondary waves cannot travel through liquids
What waves are there for earthquakes?

What is an abbreviation often used for secondary waves?
The abbreviation often used for secondary waves is S-waves.
What are the waves that arrive after primary waves in the Earth?

What types of waves are in an earthquake?
P waves (primary waves) and S waves (secondary waves).
What type of waves are genered by earthquakes?
