i have no idea. You do blah blah blah
The two types of body waves are P-waves (primary waves) and S-waves (secondary waves). P-waves are compressional waves that travel through solids, liquids, and gases, while S-waves are shear waves that only travel through solids.
p waves and s waves
The speed of seismic waves from fastest to slowest is P waves (primary waves), S waves (secondary waves), and then surface waves. L waves are a type of surface wave, so they are generally slower than both P and S waves.
The sub-types of seismic waves are primary (P) waves, secondary (S) waves, and surface waves. P waves are the fastest seismic waves and travel through solids, liquids, and gases. S waves are slower than P waves and only travel through solids. Surface waves are slower than both P and S waves and travel along the Earth's surface.
The Pressure wave is a longitudinal wave - it is a compression/rarefaction wave and has the highest velocity.The Secondary wave is a transverse wave (side to side) and is much slower.
The different types of waves- s waves p waves or surface waves
Neither. P and S waves are body waves. Tsunamis are a different matter entirely.
Seismic waves can be separated into basically two different types; S-waves and P-waves. P-waves are able to travel through liquid and solid, but S-waves can not travel through a liquid, they can only travel through a solid. When scientist "shoot" P and S-waves at the outer core, they detect the P-waves coming out the other side, but not the S-waves.
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
P and S waves are body waves.
P-waves are faster than s-waves. Both can pass through solid rock, but only p-waves can pass through gases and liquids === ===
For P waves, the two descriptive words are Primary (or compressional) waves, while for S waves, the two words are Secondary (or shear) waves.
No, surface waves move slower than P-waves and S-waves. P-waves are the fastest seismic waves, followed by S-waves, and then surface waves. Surface waves travel along the Earth's surface and are responsible for the most damage during an earthquake.
P waves have a higher velocity than S waves. This is known because P waves (Primary waves) arrive at recording stations faster than all other waves. S waves (Secondary waves) arrive second at recording stations.
They are the names given to the two types of seismic body waves released when an earthquake occurs. P-waves are known as primary waves as they have the highest verlocity of any seismic waves and so are the first to be recorded by a seismometer and they are longitudinal or compression waves. S-waves are known as secondary waves having a lower velocity than the P-wave and so arriving at a seismometer station after the P-waves. S-waves are transverse or shear waves.
Distance from the epicenter affects the S-P interval because seismic waves travel at different speeds through different materials. The farther away from the epicenter, the longer it takes for the seismic waves to arrive, which increases the S-P interval.
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
