Seismic waves are vibrations that travel through the Earth in response to an earthquake, explosion, or other disturbance. There are two main types: body waves, which travel through the interior of the Earth, and surface waves, which travel along its surface. Scientists use the study of these waves to learn about the Earth's internal structure and to track the location and magnitude of seismic events.
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 do you call the waves of energy formed by an earthquake?
Potential energy is transformed into seismic waves during an earthquake :)
What level does machop learn sesimic toss platinum?
Level 19.
How many types of seismic waves are produced at the same time in an earthquake?
Three main types of seismic waves are produced at the same time in an earthquake: primary (P-waves), secondary (S-waves), and surface waves. P-waves are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. S-waves are slower and only travel through solids. Surface waves are the slowest and cause the most destruction.
Which sesmic wave can pass through the earth's mantle and core?
the sesimic wave is the primary wave
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.
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 is the waves?
Mechanical waves Electromagnetic waves Transverse waves Longitudinal waves
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body 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 2 waves are surface waves?
Love waves and Rayleigh waves are surface waves
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
