Approximately how far is an observer from and earthquake epicenter if he or she observed a p wave 8 minutes after the earthquake?
Based on the average speed of a P-wave (6 km/s), if the observer detected the P-wave 8 minutes after the earthquake, they would be approximately 2880 km away from the epicenter. This calculation assumes the P-wave travelled directly through the Earth without any barriers altering its speed.
What is a wave of energy that is released when land moves suddenly?
A seismic wave.
What is a wave of energy produced at the earthquake's focus?
therre is more than one wave, it could be a surface wave, or an s wave or p wave
What is a huge sea wave caused by undersea earthquake?
a tsunami is a tidal wave caused by an underwater earthquake :]
A body earthquake wave that can't penetrate the earth's core?
A body earthquake wave that cannot penetrate the Earth's core is called a P-wave. P-waves are the fastest seismic waves and travel through the Earth by compressing and expanding the rock. While they can travel through the Earth's core, their speed and path are altered, causing them to refract instead of penetrate it.
What is fastest recorded speed of an earthquake?
Seismic wave velocity is mostly dependent on the material they travel through (things like magnitude do not affect wave velocity). As the earth is relatively uniform, there is virtually no deviation in earthquake 'speed'. (Wave velocity will differ depending on phase, depth, etc. - but that's different.)
Which earthquake wave is not a seismic wave?
the sound wave
What is the wavelength of an earthquake wave if it has a speed of 5km s and a frequency of 10 Hz?
Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) = (5,000) / (10) = 500 meters = 0.5 km.
Approximately how far is an observer from and earthquake epicenter if he or she observed a p wave 8 minutes after the earthquake?
Based on the average speed of a P-wave (6 km/s), if the observer detected the P-wave 8 minutes after the earthquake, they would be approximately 2880 km away from the epicenter. This calculation assumes the P-wave travelled directly through the Earth without any barriers altering its speed.
A combination of wave from a smaller wave?
it creates a earthquake!
What is a long wave caused by an underwater earthquake or other disturbance called?
A tidal wave is caused by an earthquake.
Which type of earthquake wave is felt second at any given location near the earthquake?
The Secondary or S-wave.
Was the Kashmir earthquake caused by a mechanical wave or electromagnetic wave?
A mechanical wave.
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 kind of earthquake wave is purely longitudinal?
The P wave
Is an earthquake wave a longitudinal ver a transverse wave?
It can be either.
When a longitudinal wave is combined with a tranverse wave the result is?
An earthquake.
