Is it true or false as s waves move through the ground they cause it to compress and then expand?
False. S waves (secondary waves) move through the ground by shearing the rock particles side to side, creating a horizontal motion that is perpendicular to their direction of travel. This shearing motion can cause the ground to move in a wave-like pattern, but not compress and then expand as with compressional waves (P waves).
What direction do seismic waves move?
Seismic waves move in all directions away from the point of earthquake origin, traveling through the Earth's interior in a wave-like pattern. The waves can be categorized as body waves (P-waves and S-waves) that travel through the Earth's interior and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface.
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.
Do primary and secondary waves move outward from the epicenter?
Yes, both primary (P-waves) and secondary (S-waves) waves move outward from the earthquake's epicenter. P-waves are faster and move through solid and liquid materials, while S-waves are slower and only travel through solid materials.
Waves that move up and down are called?
Waves that move up and down are called transverse waves. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and waves on a guitar string.
What do waves move through?
Different types of waves move in different patterns. Ocean waves move in a circular pattern while sound waves move in a sinusoidal pattern.
Waves move in a pattern?
Waves commonly move in a circular pattern. This is due to the transfer of energy from air molecules. Waves can either be transverse or longitudinal.
Waves move in a(n) pattern.?
A lake that becomes covered in algae can transform into a _______.
Is it true or false as s waves move through the ground they cause it to compress and then expand?
False. S waves (secondary waves) move through the ground by shearing the rock particles side to side, creating a horizontal motion that is perpendicular to their direction of travel. This shearing motion can cause the ground to move in a wave-like pattern, but not compress and then expand as with compressional waves (P waves).
Why does the fringes get closer and thinner as you move from the centre?
As you move away from the center of an interference pattern, the path length difference between the two interfering waves decreases, resulting in closer and thinner fringes. The variations in the intensity or brightness of the fringes decrease because the waves are becoming more in-phase as you move towards the center of the pattern.
Waves on the surface of a body of water are combination of transverse and longhitudal waves. Each water molecule moves in a what pattern as the waves pass by?
As waves pass by, each water molecule moves in an orbital pattern. The molecules move in circular orbits, where the overall motion of the wave is a combination of transverse and longitudinal movements. This allows the wave to propagate energy while the individual water molecules move in a circular path.
What direction does sound move?
Sound waves move in all directions from their source in a radial fashion, spreading out in a spherical pattern. This means that sound waves move outward in all directions from the source, similar to dropping a pebble in a pond and seeing ripples spread outwards.
What type of waves cause particles to move back and forth in the same direction the waves are moving?
Longitudinal waves cause particles to move back and forth in the same direction the waves are moving. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves where air particles vibrate in the same direction as the sound wave propagates.
Do micro waves move faster than the radio waves?
Microwaves ARE radio waves, and they move with the same speed as all other electromagnetic waves.
What waves do not need matter to move?
Electromagnetic waves propagate (move) with their own energy.
Are sound waves standing waves?
No, they can be caused by standing waves, but they move
Describe the vibration of the colored ribbon how does it move as waves pass by?
The colored ribbon will move up and down in a wave-like pattern as waves pass by, creating a series of crests and troughs along its length. The ribbon will oscillate back and forth in the direction of the wave propagation, following the motion of the passing waves.
