What else can I help you with?
The point directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the S wave?
This statement is incorrect. The point directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the epicenter, not the S wave. S waves are one type of seismic wave that travel through the Earth's interior during an earthquake.
What is the type of earthquake wave that pushes and pulls rock in the direction it is traveling is the?
P or primary seismic wave.
What is a huge sea wave caused by undersea earthquake?
a tsunami is a tidal wave caused by an underwater earthquake :]
How do rock particles move during the passage of a P wave through rock?
A P wave is a type of seismic wave that is caused by an earthquake. P waves are the first seismic waves felt during an earthquake. When the P wave moves, rock particles move back and forth along the direction of the P wave.
What type of wave moves the fastest?
Light wave travels fastest in air Sound wave travels fastest in solid or liquid
Which seismic wave type arrives first during an earthquake?
The P Waves. Then the S Waves.
Which type of earthquake wave is always the first to be detecated?
P-waves (primary waves) are always the first type of earthquake wave to be detected. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through both solids and liquids.
The point directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the S wave?
This statement is incorrect. The point directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the epicenter, not the S wave. S waves are one type of seismic wave that travel through the Earth's interior during an earthquake.
What does the time between each wave tell you about the earthquake?
the type of wave
Which type of wave has both transverse and longitudinal characteristics?
Earthquake wave.
Which type of earthquake wave is felt second at any given location near the earthquake?
The Secondary or S-wave.
What is a long wave caused by an underwater earthquake or other disturbance called?
A tidal wave is caused by an earthquake.
What is the first shock wave of an earthquake?
The first shock wave of an earthquake is known as the P-wave or primary wave. It is the fastest seismic wave and can travel through both solid and liquid materials. P-waves are responsible for the initial jolt felt during an earthquake.
What is the smaller wave after an earthquake called?
Aftershock!
What is the deadliest wave during an earthquake called?
it is called a tsunami
What do type of wave do earthquake produce?
Seismic waves.
What transverse wave is the first to reach the location of an earthquake?
P wave
