What type of seismic wave arrives after an earthquake?

A seismic wave travels through the Earth's layers, after a volcano, explosion, or earthquake. Transverse, compressional, longitude, and shear waves are all types of seismic waves after earthquakes.


What is a type of wave that travels through earth's interior?

A seismic wave is a type of wave that travels through Earth's interior. These waves are generated by earthquakes or other disturbances and can be classified into two main types: body waves which travel through the Earth's interior and surface waves that travel along its surface.


What is a p wave?

A P wave is a type of seismic wave generated by an earthquake that travels the fastest through the Earth's layers. It is the first wave to arrive at a seismograph station and is known as a compressional wave because it pushes and pulls the rock particles as it moves.


What is a seismic wave that travels along the earth's surface?

A seismic wave that travels along the Earth's surface is called a surface wave. These waves tend to cause the most damage during an earthquake because they have a longer wavelength and higher amplitudes compared to other types of seismic waves like body waves.


Is a seismic wave a wave of energy produced at the focus of an earthquake as elastic strain is released?

Yes, a seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through the Earth's crust as a result of an earthquake. It is produced when the stored elastic strain in rocks is released, causing vibrations that propagate through the Earth in the form of waves.

What is ther kind of seismic wave that travels fast and increase its speed with depth?

The seismic wave that travels fast and increases its speed with depth is called a primary or P-wave. P-waves are compressional waves that can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, and they are the fastest seismic waves.


What is a seismic wave that travels through Earth Interior?

A body wave is a seismic wave that travels through Earths interior.


What is the difference between tsunami - seismic wave?

A tsunami wave is a wave of energy that travels through water, while a seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through earth.


What is the seismic wave that travel's through the earths interior?

A body wave is a seismic wave that travels through Earths interior.


Which type of seismic wave travels on top of Earths surface?

A Surface Wave.


What is a wave of energy that travels through earth away from an earthquake?

A seismic wave.


What is the Difference between wave and tsunami?

A tsunami wave is a wave of energy that travels through water, while a seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through earth.
