What are the two descriptive words for P in P Waves and the S in Swaves?
For P waves, the two descriptive words are Primary (or compressional) waves, while for S waves, the two words are Secondary (or shear) waves.
What are the two types of body 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.
How have scientists determined that the outer layer is liquid?
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.
How many different ways are there to spell poop?
only two ways. spell it regulary then u can spell it backwards
two types of body waves?
p waves and s waves
Which wave is a body wave?
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.
What are the two types of energy waves created by an earthquake?
hey i kno this ha ha ha ha ha the two waves are p waves and s waves
What patterns do seismograph data reveal?
The different types of waves- s waves p waves or surface waves
Which type of wave would be created at the epicenter?
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.
How are surfaces different from body 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.
What is different about the seismic waves?
The way seismic waves are different are that they're slower than the p waves who move a lot faster to reach the earthquake.
How are P-waves and S-waves related to earthquakes?
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.
