Surface waves travel along the Earth's surface, causing most of the destruction during an earthquake. Body waves, on the other hand, travel through the Earth's interior. Body waves include primary (P-waves) and secondary (S-waves) waves, which are faster than surface waves.
Sea waves are a type of mechanical wave known as a surface wave. These waves are caused by the wind transferring energy to the surface of the water body, creating a movement that propagates across the surface in the form of waves.
Water waves are a type of mechanical wave called surface waves. They are caused by the oscillation of water particles at the surface of a body of water due to energy transfer from a disturbance, such as wind or a moving object.
A surface wave is a type of seismic wave that travels along the Earth's surface. It is slower than body waves and includes Love waves that move horizontally and Rayleigh waves that move in an elliptical motion. Surface waves are responsible for the most damage during earthquakes.
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.
A surface wave is a type of seismic wave that travels along the Earth's surface and is responsible for the most damage during an earthquake. It moves in a rolling motion, similar to waves on the ocean, and has a slower velocity but a larger amplitude compared to body waves.
Surface waves travel slower than body waves.
*sigh* Don't just copy and paste the questions....your answer is "Surface 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.
Surface waves are transverse waves.
Sea waves are a type of mechanical wave known as a surface wave. These waves are caused by the wind transferring energy to the surface of the water body, creating a movement that propagates across the surface in the form of waves.
p wave comes first s wave comes next and last comes surface wave.
Yes. In a seismic context, P and S waves are body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves are surface waves.
Neither. P and S waves are body waves. Tsunamis are a different matter entirely.
Water waves are a type of mechanical wave called surface waves. They are caused by the oscillation of water particles at the surface of a body of water due to energy transfer from a disturbance, such as wind or a moving object.
Surface waves travel more slowly than body waves (P and S); and of the two surface.
Surface waves (as the name suggests) travel along Earth's surface. Seismic waves that travel through earth's interior are known instead as body waves.
