What are the waves of force called that travel through Earth as a result of an earthquake?
Seismic Waves.
What direction will earthquake waves travel?
Earthquake waves travel outward in all directions from the point of seismic activity, which is known as the focus. The waves can move through the Earth's interior in various directions, including up towards the surface, causing shaking and potential damage.
What do shear waves travel through?
Shear waves travel through solids. They cannot travel through liquids and gasses (unlike compressive waves) and they can't travel through a vacuum (unlike electromagnetic waves).
What is the difference between sound waves and earthquake waves?
Sound waves are generated by vibrations in air or a medium and travel in all directions from the source, whereas earthquake waves are generated by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust and travel through the Earth. Sound waves are longitudinal waves that can travel through gases, liquids, and solids, while earthquake waves consist of P-waves (compressional waves) and S-waves (shear waves) that travel at different speeds and have different effects on the Earth's surface.
What is a characteristic of kinetic energy?
A characteristics is that they only travel through matter
What do earthquake waves travel through?
earthquake waves travel through the earths crust.
Why cant you get energy from the sun through convection?
Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.
A joint's capacity to travel through a full range of motion is the definition for?
Flexibility-a joint's capacity to travel through a full range of motion.
Can travel only through some type of matter .can travel either through matter or through empty space?
One example would be X-Rays. They are stopped by Lead, but travel through other matter and empty space.
What can travel either travel through matter or through empty spaces.?
volume
What state of matter do P and S waves travel through?
P waves can travel through all types of matter. S waves can only travel through solids.
There are two types of body waves that travel out from the epicenter of an earthquake They have unique characteristics Choose each of the characteristics that describes an S-wave?
S-waves are secondary waves that travel slower than P-waves and have a shearing motion perpendicular to their direction of propagation. They cannot travel through liquids and are responsible for causing the most damage during an earthquake.
How do rays travel?
through matter
What type of earthquake wave could travel through a vacuum?
Since an earthquake or seismic wave is a pressure or force wave (like sound waves), it requires a material in which to propagate. So, no earthquake waves can travel through a vacuum.
What earthquake waves travel through solids?
P waves or primary waves.
What cause earthquake waves to change direction as they travel through Earth?
by their boundaries
In what form does sound travel through matter?
Through waves
