Are primary waves transverse or longitudinal?
5000
Where do longitudinal waves originate?
Longitudinal waves are the result of earthquakes, and are also known as Primary, or P-Waves. Longitudinal waves are faster than Transverse (Secondary) Waves. A diagram of a Longitudinal wave is a straight line, with a denser area where the wave itself is travelling.
Why Sound waves are mechanical waves?
Sound waves are mechanical waves because they require a medium for their propagation .They are also called longitudinal mechanics because they vibrate in the direction of propagation of wave and and produces compression and vibrations like that of longitudinal waves
Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?
Sound waves and Primary Earthquake waves are longitudinal.

Longitudinal seismic wave are known as?
The Answer is primary waves.
What is a name for P waves?
Primary waves / compression waves / longitudinal waves.
Longitudinal seismic waves as known as?
Primary or P waves
Longitudinal seismic waves are know as?
Primary or P waves

Why sound waves are longitudinal waves?
If the particles of the medium vibrate in the direction of propagation of wave, as in sound waves that's why sound waves are called longitudinal waves.
Do longitudinal waves travel the fastest?
Longitudinal waves, the result of earthquakes, also known as Primary, or P-Waves, are faster than Transverse (Secondary) Waves.

Explain why longitudinal and transverse waves are named the way they are?
Longitudinal waves that are produced by earthquake are called primary waves because they are detected by seismometers before the other types of seismic waves due to their higher velocity which means they travel from the epicentre of an earthquake to the seismic station more quickly than the other types of seismic waves.
