What else can I help you with?
Name 5 different waves you encounter everyday?
Sound waves, light waves, radio waves, microwaves, and ocean waves.
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 waves that arrive after primary waves?
Secondary waves, also known as S-waves, are seismic waves that arrive after primary waves (P-waves) during an earthquake. They are slower than P-waves and travel through the Earth by causing particles to move in a perpendicular motion to the direction of wave propagation.
How does energy travel during earthquakes?
There are three types of vibrations:- Primary waves, Secondary waves and long waves. Primary waves can move through solid and liquid. Secondary waves move through only solids and long waves can only move along the surface of the earth's crust.
Which seismic wave does more damage primary wave secondary wave or surface wave?
Surface waves typically cause more damage than primary or secondary waves during an earthquake. They travel along the earth's surface and are responsible for the shaking that can result in building collapse and other structural damage. Primary and secondary waves, while important for seismologists to study, usually do not cause as much damage as surface waves.
What are the different types of earthquakes waves?
The three types of earthquake waves are primary waves, surface waves, and secondary waves.
Are the primary waves faster then the secondary waves?
Primary seismic waves travel the fastest.
What are the waves that arrive after primary waves in the Earth?
Secondary waves.
What waves are there for earthquakes?
Primary waves, Secondary waves, and Seismic waves
Name 5 different waves you encounter everyday?
Sound waves, light waves, radio waves, microwaves, and ocean waves.
What type of waves are genered by earthquakes?
Primary Waves, Secondary Waves, and Surface Waves.
What types of waves are in an earthquake?
P waves (primary waves) and S waves (secondary waves).
How are primary and secondary waves alike How are they different?
the petrographical interaction between them are at different levels therefore occurring in different wave lengths.
What wave do earthquakes make?
Seismic waves Types: Primary waves Secondary waves Surface waves
Why are earthquake waves called primary secondary and surface?
Primary and secondary refer to the order in which they come out, surface waves are called surface because they resonate close to the surface
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.
A person located twice as far from the epicenter of an earthquake as another person will notice tat the time between the arrival of the primary and secondary waves will be?
Twice as long. The interval between the arrival of the primary and secondary waves doubles with every doubling of the distance from the epicenter due to the different velocities of the waves.
