What else can I help you with?
What will happen to a seismic wave when it is reflected?
When a seismic wave is reflected, it will bounce off a boundary between different materials and change direction. This can cause the wave to be redirected back towards its source or continue traveling in a different direction.
What do you call the center of a seismic wave?
The center of a seismic wave is called the focus or hypocenter. This is the point within the Earth where the seismic waves originate.
What is another word for seismic waves?
earthquake wave or shock wave
What happens to the total energy in a seismic wave as the wave grows increasingly larger?
The total energy in a seismic wave remains constant as the wave grows larger. The energy is spread out over a larger area, resulting in lower energy concentration at any specific point.
What is a wave of energy that is released when land moves suddenly?
A seismic wave.
Is a seismic wave a rock that makes up the core of the continents?
No. A seismic wave can simply be though of as an "earthquake wave". Seismic waves originate in the tectonic plates of the Earth as they crash against each other, causing a vibration.
What will happen to a seismic wave when it is reflected?
When a seismic wave is reflected, it will bounce off a boundary between different materials and change direction. This can cause the wave to be redirected back towards its source or continue traveling in a different direction.
What seismic wave causes the most damage?
Seismic wave
What can locate a seismic wave?
A seismograph can locate a seismic wave.
What type of wave is the fastest?
The fastest wave is the electromagnetic wave. Of the seismic waves, the P-wave is the fastest seismic wave.
How do you stop a seismic wave?
You need a shotgun and shoot the wave and that's how you stop a seismic wave
it is a kind of seismic wave that travels fast and increases its speed with depth?
The seismic wave you are referring to is a P-wave, or primary wave. P-waves are compressional waves that can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, and they are the fastest type of seismic wave, typically increasing in speed as they move deeper into the Earth due to higher pressure and density. Their ability to propagate through various materials makes them essential for understanding the Earth's internal structure and for seismic exploration.
Are shear waves and seismic waves the same?
A shear wave is a type of seismic wave.
Which type of a wave is a surface wave?
a seismic wave
Which earthquake wave is not a seismic wave?
the sound wave
What is a seismic wave that causes particules of rock to vibrate in the same direction which the wave is moving?
That would be a P-wave or Primary wave which is a longitudinal seismic wave.
Can there be a seismic wave without having an earthquake?
It is possible to have a seismic wave without having an earthquake. Any wave moving through the ground is a seismic wave, and all earthquakes are seismic waves. But seismic waves can be created by volcanic action, landslides, meteor strikes or the like. Though all earthquakes are seismic waves, not all seismic waves are earthquakes.
