Which types of seismic wave produces the most severe ground movement?
Rayleigh waves (which are a type of surface wave) produce the largest amplitude and so most severe ground movements during earthquakes.Surface waves produce the most severe ground movements. They produce movements similar to waves in the water, where the water's particles move in a pattern that is almost circular. Surface waves can make the ground roll like ocean waves or shake buildings from side to side. They move more slowly then P waves or S waves.
What produces a record of seismic waves?
seismogram-
What kind of movement is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves?
P waves - compress and expand the ground like a Accordion S waves - vibrate from side to side as well as up and down Surface waves - make the ground roll like ocean waves The Earthquake is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves.
What is the name given to the waves of energy that an earthquake produces?
It should be a seismic wave.
The waves that arrive after primary waves they move the ground back and forth?
secondary
Which type pf seismic wave produces the most severe ground movements?
surface waves produces the most severe ground movement because its on the surface of the earth
Which type seismic wave produces the most severe ground movement?
S waves
Why are sound waves are described as pressure waves?
Sound waves are described as pressure waves because waves produces pressure by which sound is produces

An insect that produces waves in the water also produces waves in the air?
oxygen
What are the fastest waves that compress and expand the ground like an accordion?
i think its seismicwaves
How does sound produced in school bell?
It is produced by soundwaves in the air, which are registered in the inner ear. The way a schoolbell produces these waves is when the "hammer" hits the metal of the bell, and makes the metal to vibrate, where the vibration or the waves get sent through the air molecyles.
What type of waves the sun produces?
light waves
How does the energy from an earthquake reach the surface earth?
in the form of body waves known as p (compressional waves) and s waves (shear waves). the energy of the earth quake also produces surface waves which have long amplitudes and short frequencies causing them to be extremely destructive
An insect that produces waves in the water also produces waves in the air. What can thses air vibrations produce?
Oxygen
What are waves produces by earthquakes called?
The waves produced by earthquakes are called seismic waves.
Why the ground shake?
P and S waves. the p waves are first, because they are faster. they can cause a lot of damage to a little. then the s waves come shortly after, but these are slower and more powerful. this is called an aftershock. p waves are primary and s waves are secondary.There are plates that rub agaist each other under the ground and they hit then when they rub off each other they do it quickly so the ground shakes
