Body waves travel through the inside of earth's surface.Surface waves travel through the top part of earth's crust
For P waves, the two descriptive words are Primary (or compressional) waves, while for S waves, the two words are Secondary (or shear) waves.
The two types of body waves are P-waves (primary waves) and S-waves (secondary waves). P-waves are compressional waves that travel through solids, liquids, and gases, while S-waves are shear waves that only travel through solids.
Seismic waves can be separated into basically two different types; S-waves and P-waves. P-waves are able to travel through liquid and solid, but S-waves can not travel through a liquid, they can only travel through a solid. When scientist "shoot" P and S-waves at the outer core, they detect the P-waves coming out the other side, but not the S-waves.
only two ways. spell it regulary then u can spell it backwards
p waves and s waves
A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface. P and S waves are body waves. Each type of wave shakes the ground in different ways.
hey i kno this ha ha ha ha ha the two waves are p waves and s waves
The different types of waves- s waves p waves or surface waves
At the epicenter of an earthquake, both primary (P-wave) and secondary (S-wave) seismic waves are typically generated. P-waves are faster and arrive first, while S-waves are slower and arrive next. These waves cause the ground to shake in different ways, with P-waves traveling through solids, liquids, and gases, while S-waves only travel through solids.
A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface. P and S waves are body waves. Each type of wave shakes the ground in different ways.
The way seismic waves are different are that they're slower than the p waves who move a lot faster to reach the earthquake.
They are the names given to the two types of seismic body waves released when an earthquake occurs. P-waves are known as primary waves as they have the highest verlocity of any seismic waves and so are the first to be recorded by a seismometer and they are longitudinal or compression waves. S-waves are known as secondary waves having a lower velocity than the P-wave and so arriving at a seismometer station after the P-waves. S-waves are transverse or shear waves.
