Vibrations that travel through Earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake?
It is a seismic wave.
What are earthquake generated waves called?
Earthquake generated waves are called seismic waves. These are waves of energy that travel through the Earth's layers. Their velocity depends on the elasticity and density of the medium that they travel through.
What evidence do we have that Earth's outer core is molten?
There are two types of seismic body waves that travel through the earth when an earthquake occurs. P-waves and S-waves. When an earthquake occurs it has been observed that there is a zone at the opposite side of the earth where P-waves are detected but S-waves are not. S-waves are not able to travel through liquids where as P-waves can and as such it is believed that the shadow zone is caused by the presence of a liquid outer core.
What is the evidence for the Earth's central core being solid?
The evidence is largely from the way that seismic waves travel through the earth after an earthquake.(:
Why does an earthquakes damage decrease the further away you are?
Energy in seismic waves is lost as they travel through the ground. As such the further they travel from the epicentre of the earthquake, the greater the energy loss and the less damage they can do.
What are forms of energy that are produced at an earthquake's point of origin and travel outward?
Seismic Waves
What forms of energy are produced at an earthquakes point of origin and travel outward?
Seismic waves are the forms of energy produced by an earthquake.
What form of energy are produced at an earthquakes point of origin and travel outward?
Seismic waves are the forms of energy produced by an earthquake.
In what diection does a seismic wave travel?
Seismic waves travel in all directins radiating out from the Earthquake's epicenter and/or focus.
What direction will earthquake waves travel?
Earthquake waves travel in all directions.
The vibrations that travel out from the center of an earthquake are called?
seismic waves
Is seismic waves and earthquake waves the same?
Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.
What is a seismic monitor?
A machine or program to measure seismic waves that travel through the earth after an earthquake or explosion.
What are forms of energy that are produced at an earthquakes point of origin and travel outward?
Seismic Waves
How the seismic waves of an earthquake travel?
Out words in all directions from the source.
What are the waves of force called that travel through Earth as a result of an earthquake?
Seismic Waves.
Vibrations that travel through Earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake?
It is a seismic wave.
