I believe you may be referring to "seismic waves", which are waves that move through the Earth following a major event, such as an earthquake, volcanic eruption, large explosion or impact. Scientists who study seismic waves, referred to as seismologists, note that there are different types of seismic waves which are differentiated by the speed, depth and amplitude of the wave. Following an earthquake, fast moving seismic waves at the surface may cause tremendous destruction while, further from the epicenter, slower waves traveling at greater depths may go unnoticed.
What else can I help you with?
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
What do you call waves that require a medium A electromagnetic waves or B mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves, shock waves, etc.
What are examples of longitudinal waves?
Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves, seismic waves, and sound waves in solids (such as ultrasound waves). These waves propagate by compressing and rarefying the medium in the direction of wave motion.
Kind of wave released during an wave?
During an earthquake, seismic waves are released. These waves travel through the Earth and can be detected by seismographs. The main types of seismic waves are P-waves (primary waves), S-waves (secondary waves), and surface waves.
What is the conclusion of the fast movement of semistic waves through inner core?
The fast movement of seismic waves through the Earth's inner core suggests that it is solid and composed primarily of iron and nickel. This rapid transmission indicates high density and rigidity, supporting the idea that the inner core is under immense pressure. Additionally, the distinct behavior of these waves helps scientists infer the inner core's temperature and composition, furthering our understanding of Earth's internal structure.
What are the 3 types of waves?
P-waves (Primary Waves) -- Body WaveS-waves (Secondary Waves) -- Body WaveSurface Waves (Rayleigh and Love)The 3 types of seismic waves are P waves, S waves and surface waves.
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
What is the waves?
Mechanical waves Electromagnetic waves Transverse waves Longitudinal waves
The 3 types of seismic waves are what?
P-waves (Primary Waves) -- Body WaveS-waves (Secondary Waves) -- Body WaveSurface Waves (Rayleigh and Love)The 3 types of seismic waves are P waves, S waves and surface waves.

What waves start with the letter S?
Some answers:Sea waves.Sigmoid waves,Sine waves,Soliton waves,Sound waves,Standing waves,Stationary waves.
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What are the 5 main waves in science?
