An example for a surface wave would be flat because the surface is flat.
body waves
*sigh* Don't just copy and paste the questions....your answer is "Surface Wave"
A seismic body wave that can penetrate the Earth's core is called a P wave (Primary wave). P waves are the fastest seismic waves and they can travel through both solid and liquid layers of the Earth, including the core.
Answer 1: A compressional wave is a wave that is close together and transverse waves are waves that are going the way the wave travels. Answer 2: Basically, it's a sound wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression. Scince it is a mechanical wave it must use a medium to travel though. A sound wave is a good example of a compressional wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression.

A body wave that doesn't penetrate the Earth's core is a type of seismic wave known as a S wave. S waves, also called secondary waves, are slower than P waves and only travel through solids. They cannot pass through the liquid outer core of the Earth.
Light is an example of a electromagnetic wave.
transverse= rope longitudinal= spring surface= water & air
A longitudinal wave.
Radio wave is not an example of a mechanical wave because it is an example of an electromagnetic wave. Mechanical waves require a medium to propagate, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.
An example of a longitudinal wave is a sound wave, where the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave. An example of a transverse wave is a light wave, where the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
An example of a transverse wave is a wave on a string when it is plucked or shaken. In this type of wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular (sideways) to the direction of the wave propagation. This causes crests and troughs to form as the wave travels along the medium.
The primary body wave that is a longitudinal wave is the P-wave (primary wave). It is the fastest seismic wave and travels through the Earth's interior by compressing and expanding the rock in the direction of the wave's propagation.
A sound wave is an example of a longitudinal wave. A device used to measure the length and pitch of the sound wave is call a oscilloscope.
No, a radio wave is not an example of a mechanical wave. A mechanical wave requires a medium to travel through, such as water or air, while a radio wave can travel through a vacuum because it is an electromagnetic wave.
