What are shock waves released in an earthquake called?
seismic waves
One effect of shock waves on the Earth?
Shock waves can be generated by earthquakes, explosions, or meteorite impacts. These shock waves can cause damage to structures, trigger tsunamis, and generate vibrations that can be felt over long distances.
How does the phenomenon of interference play a role in the production of bow or shock waves?
Interference occurs when two or more waves overlap and either reinforce or cancel each other out. In the case of bow or shock waves, interference can amplify the pressure fluctuations and energy of the waves, resulting in the characteristic patterns and intensities found in these types of waves. This interference phenomenon is crucial in understanding the complex dynamics of wave propagation in fluid dynamics.
Shock waves that are felt on the earth's surface as the results of faulting in the crust are called?
Seismic waves or tremors
What are the different kinds of seismic waves?
* Hypovolemic shock. The single most common cause of shock is blood volume loss, resulting from a serious wound or a severe burn leading to hypovolemic shock. * Cardiogenic shock is caused by the failure of the heart to pump effectively. This can be due to damage to the heart muscle, most often from a large myocardial infarction. Other causes of cardiogenic shock include arrhythmias, or cardiac valve problems. * Distributive shock. As in hypovolemic shock there is an insufficient volume of blood. This form of relative hypovolaemia is the result of dilation of bloodvessels. Examples of this form of shock are: * Septic shock is caused by overwhelming infection leading to vasodilation. It is treated by antibiotics, fluid replacement, and vasoconstrictors. * Acute adrenal insufficiency is not infrequently the result of discontinuing corticosteroid treatment without tapering the dosage. * Less commonly severe anaphylactic reactions may cause anaphylactic shock as allergens trigger widespread vasodilation and movement of fluid out of the blood into the tissues. * The rarest cause of shock is acute spinal cord injury leading to neurogenic shock. Neurogenic shock is caused by the sudden loss of the sympathetic nervous system signals to the smooth muscle in vessel walls. Without this constant stimulation the vessels relax resulting in a sudden decrease in peripheral vascular resistance and decreased blood pressure. * Obstructive shock. Hereby the flow of blood is obstructed. Several conditions result in this form of shock. * Cardiac tamponade, in which blood in the pericardium prevents inflow of blood into the heart (venous return). Or constrictive pericarditis which has the same effect. * Pneumothorax. Through increased intrathoracic pressure bloodflow to the heart is prevented (venous return). * Pulmonary embolism is the result of a thromboembolic incident in bloodvessels of the lungs and hinders the return of blood to the heart.
Does lightning shock people?
Yes. It can kill them too.
How does the brain send shock waves to your muscles?
Your brain does not send shock waves to your muscles.
What is the duration of Shock Waves film?
The duration of Shock Waves - film - is 1.5 hours.
When was Shock Waves - film - created?
Shock Waves - film - was created on 1977-07-15.
What are shock waves released in an earthquake called?
seismic waves
What is wave length of shock waves?
shock waves do not have a well defined wavelength, they most closely resemble a step function.
Are shock waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Shock waves are a type of longitudinal waves, meaning the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave is moving. This is in contrast to transverse waves, where the particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
What has the author Qiang Yu written?
Qiang Yu has written: 'Experimental and numerical study of unsteady shock and detonation waves' -- subject(s): Detonation waves, Shock waves
What is a difibullator?
a device used to shock the heart back into beating
Waves that can travel only through matter?
Sound, water waves, shock waves, etc
Does the earth shake in the earthquake?
yes,the shock waves spread in all directions like when we throw a stone in a pool of water,as the shock waves goes further the power of the shock decreases
Do explosive shock waves propigate in a vacuum?
No, explosive shock waves require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the shock wave to travel through, so it would not propagate.
