What is a seismic wave that travels through the earths interior?
body 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"
What is a body wave that can penetrate the earths core?
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.
What is a compressional wave?
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?
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.
What type of wave is a light wave an example of?
Light is an example of a electromagnetic wave.
Name one example of each type of wave?
transverse= rope longitudinal= spring surface= water & air
A sound wave is an example of?
A longitudinal wave.
Which one of the following is not an example of a mechanical wave water wave earthquake wave sound wave or radio 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.
Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?
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.
What is an example of a tranverse 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.
Which body wave is a longitudinal wave?
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.
What is an example os a longditudinal wave?
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.
Is a radio wave a example of a mechanical wave?
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.
An example of a purely longitudinal wave is a?
Sound wave is an example of a purely longitudinal wave. In a sound wave, the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave is moving, creating compressions and rarefactions as the wave travels through the medium.
Name an example of a transverse wave?
An example of a transverse wave is a water wave. As the wave travels horizontally, the particles of water move up and down perpendicularly to the wave's direction of travel.
What surge in a crowd is an example of what kind of wave?
A surge in a crowd is an example of a transverse wave, where the motion of the individuals is perpendicular to the direction of the wave itself.
