What else can I help you with?
How are primary and secondary waves similar?
there both wavesThey are both Seismic wavesThey can both go through solidsThey are both Seismic wavesThey can both go through solidsThey are both Seismic wavesThey can both go through solids
What are two types of seismic waves that travel through earth's interior?
The two types of seismic waves that travel through the Earth are P and S waves. The P wave means primary wave and the S wave is secondary. The wave that travels around the Earth's crust is the L wave, which stands for the Love wave.Hope this helps :)
Can earthquakes travel through liquids and solids?
Earthquakes can only happen in solids. Earthquake waves are a different matter:p-waves can travel through both solids and liquidss-waves can only travel through solidssurface waves (e,g, Rayleigh waves, Love waves) can only travel on the surface of solidsetc.
What Movement of the faults produces which kind of energy waves?
The movement of faults produces seismic waves. When an earthquake occurs, it generates three types of seismic waves: P-waves (Primary waves), S-waves (Secondary waves), and surface waves. P-waves are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. S-waves are slower and move only through solids. Surface waves cause the most damage and travel along the Earth's surface.
When an earthquake occurs S waves are the first seismic waves to arrive at a given location.?
False. P waves are the first seismic waves to arrive at a given location during an earthquake, followed by S waves. P waves are faster than S waves and are able to travel through both solids and liquids, while S waves can only travel through solids.
What type of wave travels only through solids?
S-waves travel only through solids.
What type of wave only travels through solids and what does this give evidence of?
It's an 'S wave'. Im not entirely sure what it gives evidence of but i believe that it is a seismic wave.
Which forms of matter can primary and secondary seismic waves travel through?
Primary seismic waves are longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses (although seismic waves are of to low a frequency to normally be heard). Secondary seismic waves are transverse waves and only travel through solids.
What is the definition of a primary and secondary seismic waves?
Primary wave- (P-waves) travel through solids liquids and gas. push/pull or compress waves. They travel faster and arive at seismic stations first. Secondary waves-(S-waves) travels ONLY through solids. moves side to side. Gets to the seismic stations second. I hope that helps!!

What are Earthquake Waves That Vibrate From Side To Side And Up And Down Only Through Solids Are Known As?
seismic waves actually the correct answer is S waves. trust me if you put seismic waves it will be wrong

Does sound slow down in liquid?
On the contrary, sound travels better through liquid, even better through solids, we only think differently because we only hear normally through air.
Can a p wave travel through gas?
Yes, a P-wave can travel through gas. P-waves are seismic waves that are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They compress and expand the material they travel through, which allows them to propagate through gases as well.
Can earthquakes travel through liquids and solids?

What is the sub-type of seismic waves?
The sub-types of seismic waves are primary (P) waves, secondary (S) waves, and surface waves. P waves are the fastest seismic waves and travel through solids, liquids, and gases. S waves are slower than P waves and only travel through solids. Surface waves are slower than both P and S waves and travel along the Earth's surface.
Do sound waves travel even faster through liquids and solids?
Yes. The denser the medium, the faster it travels. So, it travels fastest in solids, and slowest in gases. It can range from only about 340 meters per second in air, to over 2000 meters per second in steel.
