Waves are defined as disturbances that carry energy from one place to another without the transfer of matter. Ocean waves are caused by the wind transferring energy to the water surface, while earthquake waves are caused by the release of energy from the Earth's crust. Light waves are electromagnetic waves that travel through space at the speed of light.

What doearthquakes waves have in common with other waves?
Earthquake waves, like other types of waves, carry energy and propagate through a medium. They can be described in terms of wavelength, frequency, and amplitude. Additionally, earthquake waves can undergo reflection, refraction, and diffraction just like other waves.
Compare and contrast the two types of waves based on a medium?
Mechanical waves require a physical medium to propagate, such as sound waves in air or water waves in the ocean. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, can travel through a vacuum and do not need a medium. They include light waves and radio waves.
What is a vibration caused by an earthquake called?
seismic waves
How is a light wave different than any other wave?
ligt waves are different from other ways because they have charicteristics of particles and waves. It has never been proven that it is one or the other. Youngs double slit experiment shows us that light waves diffract and interfere.
Can light waves diffract as any other waves?
Yes, light waves can diffract just like any other waves. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles and edges. When light waves encounter a small opening or obstacle, they can diffract and exhibit patterns of interference and diffraction.
What type of earthquake wave can make the ground roll like ocean waves?
The type of earthquake wave that can make the ground roll like ocean waves is called a Rayleigh wave. These surface waves travel along the Earth's exterior and cause both vertical and horizontal ground movement, resulting in a rolling motion similar to ocean waves. Rayleigh waves are typically slower than other seismic waves, such as P-waves and S-waves, but they can produce significant shaking and damage during an earthquake.
What do earthquake waves have in common with other waves?
Earthquake waves, like other waves, transfer energy through a medium. They travel in a wave-like pattern, with characteristics such as amplitude, frequency, and wavelength. Additionally, earthquake waves can be reflected, refracted, and diffracted similar to other types of waves.
If an earthquake happens under the ocean it causes giant waves called?
These waves are called "Tsunami" Note , Earthquakes CAN cause giant waves (not all sub sea earthquakes do this). Note also that there are other causes of Tsunami.

What waves are the first to reach a seismograph after an earthquake?
The primary waves (P-waves) are the first to reach a seismograph after an earthquake. These waves are faster than other seismic waves and can travel through both solid and liquid materials.
How do you say huge ocean waves?
You can say "huge ocean waves" as "massive sea swells" or "gigantic ocean waves." Other descriptive phrases include "towering waves" or "colossal surf." Each of these conveys the idea of large and powerful waves in the ocean.
Compare and contrast the two types of waves based on a medium?
Mechanical waves require a physical medium to propagate, such as sound waves in air or water waves in the ocean. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, can travel through a vacuum and do not need a medium. They include light waves and radio waves.
What did one mountain say to the other after an earthquake?
the joke is what did one ocean do to the other ocean? the answer for that is it waved
What are the waves generated by an earthquake?
the crust of the earth is swithching over each other
How are light waves different than other waves?
Light waves are waves but behave like a particle. They are also mass less.
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.
What has caused the Earthquake in Japan?
The earthquake in Japan was caused like any other earthquake, by two tectonic plates hitting and moving each other. The tsunami in Japan was caused because the earthquake happened close to the surface of the earth in the lithosphere (crust). The seismic waves (mostly the Secondary waves rather than the Primary Compression Waves) shook the water and later became a giant tidal wave, which was the tsunami in Japan.
