there are p waves, s waves, and surface waves. hope this helps!
~{Kathryn}~
too add on to this p waves stand for primary waves, s waves stand for secondary waves and surface waves is just surfface waves. usually earthquakes start with a p wave then a s wave and the most violent but slowest is the surface wave hope this helps too
see ya later buye bi
What else can I help you with?
What is the Idea that rocks on either side of the fault spring back to a position of a little or no strange at the moment of an earthquake causing vibration in the earths crust?
Rocks on the side of a spring will move if there is a earthquake. When a earthquake happens it shakes everything.
What directions do waves move in?
Waves can move in any direction - back and forth, up and down, or side to side. The direction of wave motion depends on the type of wave and the medium it is traveling through.
Which way do secondary waves go in?
Secondary waves, also known as shear waves, move by causing particles to move perpendicular to the direction of wave travel. This results in a side-to-side motion that causes rocks to shear horizontally. Secondary waves are the second-fastest seismic waves and are responsible for causing the ground to shake during an earthquake.
What wave causes buildings to shake side to side?
The wave that causes buildings to shake side to side is called a shear wave, or S-wave. These waves move through the Earth during an earthquake and displace the ground perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This lateral movement can lead to significant shaking in structures, particularly if they are not designed to withstand such forces.
What type of earthquake wave moves through only crust and mantle?
The type of earthquake wave that moves only through the crust and mantle is called the S-wave (secondary wave). S-waves are slower than P-waves, cannot propagate through liquids like the outer core, and cause side-to-side shaking motion.
How do particles move in the ground when earthquake occurs?
how do particles move in the ground when an earthquake occurs
How earthquake is measured using sesimograph?
The shaking of the ground makes the pen move up or down, or side to side, depending on what kind of seismograph it is. The pen then draws a graph, and the more the pen shakes, the the stronger the earthquake.
To swim whales move their tails from side to side?
Whales' tails move up and down when they swim, just like peoples' legs.
Which earthquake waves are horizontal?
Surface waves are the earthquake waves that move in a horizontal direction along the ground. They are responsible for the most damage during an earthquake due to their side-to-side shaking motion.
What is the Idea that rocks on either side of the fault spring back to a position of a little or no strange at the moment of an earthquake causing vibration in the earths crust?
Rocks on the side of a spring will move if there is a earthquake. When a earthquake happens it shakes everything.
How do hammerhead shark move?
They move there tail side to side creating a forward thrust movement
What angles does an s wave move?
Secondary waves, or S waves move from side to side, or up and down.
To swim whales move their tales from side to side True or False?
false. Fish move their tails side to side to aid motion. However, whales were once land animals and their spines are built differently. To be able to move with that physical set up, their tails move up and down.
How do dolphins move their tails?
Up and down. I've also noticed that mammals, such as whales and dolphins, beat their tail up and down, while fish, like sharks, beat their tail side to side. Hope this helps!
How do dolphin moves?
by flipping their tail up and down and to navigate them also they use their front flippers and their dorsal fin moves them swiftly through the water. they also move their body like humans to go in the direction they need to. they move their tail up and down instead of side to side like fish.
Which type of wave shakes the ground up and down as it moves through the Earth?
Seismic waves called "S waves" shake the ground up and down as they move through the Earth. S waves are a type of shear wave that travels through the Earth's interior and are responsible for the side-to-side or up-and-down motion felt during an earthquake.
How do you move around the battlefield in Tales of Symphonia?
You move side to side. Up to jump (on manual, I think it jumps for you in semi-auto), and down does nothing for you. You can only move side to side (left and right)
