What do primary and surface waves have in common?
Primary and surface waves are both types of seismic waves that travel through the Earth's interior during an earthquake. They both cause ground shaking, but primary waves (P-waves) are faster and travel through solids, liquids, and gases, while surface waves travel only along the Earth's surface and are responsible for the most damage during an earthquake.
Do Secondary waves travel through the earths surface?
No, secondary waves (S-waves) cannot travel through the Earth's surface. They are a type of seismic wave that move through the Earth's interior and cannot propagate in liquids or gases, making them unable to travel through the surface.
What general name is given to waves that travel along the surface of a material such as Rayleigh and Love waves?
Surface waves
Which of the following is NOT a body wave of an earthquake?
*sigh* Don't just copy and paste the questions....your answer is "Surface Wave"
Are secondary waves faster than surface waves?
Yes, secondary waves (S-waves) are faster than surface waves. S-waves are seismic waves that travel through the interior of the Earth, while surface waves travel along the Earth's surface. S-waves have higher velocities because they travel through solid material, whereas surface waves experience slower speeds as they propagate through less rigid layers.
What does surface waves travel through?
surface waves can only travel along the surface.
How do you-boats travel?
On the surface.
What kind of waves can travel through earth and along earths surface?
Seismic waves are the types of waves that can travel through the Earth and along its surface. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves (such as primary and secondary waves) that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves (such as Love and Rayleigh waves) that travel along the Earth's surface.
Does cold travel from the surface to your hand or does energy travel from your hand to the cold surface?
Energy travels from your hand to the cold surface. Cold is merely the relative absence of heat.
What are waves called that travel on the surface of the water?
Waves that travel on the surface of the water are called surface waves. These waves are created by wind blowing over the water, causing the surface to rise and fall in a rolling motion.
What it the adjective of this sentence You can travel up to 4500 meters below the surface?
surface
Do surface waves require a medium?
Yes, surface waves require a medium to travel through. Unlike electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum, surface waves, such as water waves and seismic waves, need a material medium to propagate.
What are waves that travel at the surface of the earth?
The seismic waves that travel along Earth;'s surface are infact known as "surface waves" of which there are two main types - Love and Rayleigh waves.
Which wave travel the slowest?
surface wave
How does magma travel up to the surface?
magma
Does a surface wave go through the body of the earth or along the surface?
Surface waves (as the name suggests) travel along Earth's surface. Seismic waves that travel through earth's interior are known instead as body waves.
What are the applications of surface area in daily life?
The knowledge and judgment of Surface Areas plays a major role in our daily lives as it is necessary for placement. For instance, placement of furniture depens very much on the available area to place it, the less the area, the less the furniture is preferrred to fill it (to prevent crowding)!
