Surface waves travel along the Earth's surface, causing most of the damage during an earthquake, while body waves travel through the Earth's interior. Surface waves have a larger amplitude and longer period compared to body waves, making them slower but more destructive in terms of shaking at the surface.
What else can I help you with?
What are the different wave directions that can be observed in a body of water?
The different wave directions that can be observed in a body of water are swells, wind waves, and rogue waves.
Which body waves is a longitudinal wave?
The primary body wave that is a longitudinal wave is the P wave. P waves are compressional waves that travel through solid and liquid materials by causing particles to move in the same direction of wave propagation.
What are the three different wave types?
The three different wave types are transverse waves, longitudinal waves, and surface waves. Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, longitudinal waves oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation, and surface waves travel along the boundary between two different mediums.
Is a transverse wave an example of an longitudinal wave?
No, they are different types of wave. Transverse waves vibrate across the direction of motion, like the waves you get when you shake a rope. Longitudinal waves vibrate back and forth along the direction of motion like a sound wave.
What is nonlinear waves?
Nonlinear waves are waves in a medium where the wave behavior is not directly proportional to the amplitude of the wave. In linear waves, the wave amplitude increases or decreases proportionally with the input energy, but nonlinear waves exhibit complex interactions between different wave components. Nonlinear waves are commonly seen in nature, such as in ocean waves, sound waves, and light waves.
What are the different wave directions that can be observed in a body of water?
The different wave directions that can be observed in a body of water are swells, wind waves, and rogue waves.
Is p wave larger s wave surface wave or tsunamis?
Neither. P and S waves are body waves. Tsunamis are a different matter entirely.
How are surfaces different from body waves?
A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface. P and S waves are body waves. Each type of wave shakes the ground in different ways.
What is a seismic wave that travels through the earths interior?
body waves
Which wave is a body wave?
A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface. P and S waves are body waves. Each type of wave shakes the ground in different ways.
What type of wave is P wave?
Body Waves
Which body waves is a longitudinal wave?
The primary body wave that is a longitudinal wave is the P wave. P waves are compressional waves that travel through solid and liquid materials by causing particles to move in the same direction of wave propagation.
Is a P-wave a body wave?
Yes. In a seismic context, P and S waves are body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves are surface waves.
What are the three different wave types?
The three different wave types are transverse waves, longitudinal waves, and surface waves. Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, longitudinal waves oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation, and surface waves travel along the boundary between two different mediums.
Which of the following is NOT a body wave of an earthquake?
*sigh* Don't just copy and paste the questions....your answer is "Surface Wave"
What is the main difference between body wave and surface waves?
Surface waves travel slower than body waves.
What type of seismic wave are P waves and S waves?
P and S waves are body waves.
