What moves by giving particles a circular motion and are generate by energy that travels outward from the epicenter?

These are electromagnetic waves. They move by giving particles a circular motion and are generated by energy that travels outward from the epicenter. Electromagnetic waves include visible light, radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays.


What move by giving particles a circular motion and are generated by energy that travels outward from epicenter?

Seismic waves are the move generated by energy traveling outward from the epicenter in a circular motion, causing particles to oscillate. These waves are responsible for the shaking and ground motion during an earthquake.


Which station point would receive no seismic waves?

A station point located directly above the earthquake's epicenter would receive no seismic waves as the waves would travel outward in all directions away from the epicenter. At this point there would be no movement of the ground caused by the seismic waves passing through.


What is the middle of an earthquake called?

The middle of an earthquake is called the hypocenter, or more commonly known as the focus. This is the point within the Earth where the seismic waves originate and radiate outward.


Vibrational tremors sent out from an earthquake?

Vibrational tremors are waves of energy that radiate outward in all directions from the earthquake's epicenter. These waves can travel through the ground, buildings, and even bodies of water, causing structures to shake and creating physical disturbances. The amplitude and frequency of these tremors depend on the magnitude of the earthquake and the distance from the epicenter.

Do primary and secondary waves move outward from the epicenter?

Yes, both primary (P-waves) and secondary (S-waves) waves move outward from the earthquake's epicenter. P-waves are faster and move through solid and liquid materials, while S-waves are slower and only travel through solid materials.


What type of wave starts at the epicenter?

The type of wave that starts at the epicenter of an earthquake is called a seismic wave. There are two primary types of seismic waves: primary waves (P-waves) and secondary waves (S-waves). P-waves are compressional waves that travel fastest and can move through both solids and liquids, while S-waves are shear waves that can only travel through solids. Both types radiate outward from the epicenter, causing ground shaking.


Does a tsunami travel radially outward from its epicenter?

Yes, a tsunami travels outward from its epicenter in a series of waves in all directions. The energy generated by an undersea earthquake causes the ocean water to displace and form a tsunami that spreads across the ocean.


What are seismic waves that reach the earths surface and travel outward?

the one with the most damege is the surface wave because they are on the surface of earth. but p-waves are the second and s-waves are the third

What happens to seismic waves as they travel out from the epicenter?

They get weaker as they travel out from the epicentre

What is the point under the surface where earthquake waves are generated and move outward in all directions?

The point under the surface where earthquake waves are generated is called the focus or hypocenter. This is where the energy is released that generates seismic waves that then move outward in all directions through the Earth's crust.
