Seismic waves depend on what kind of material of ground they travel on because not all seismic waves can travel in liquid or solid grounds, so earthquakes might not be that distructive. But earthquakes still depend on the friction, faults and other stuff. Seismic waves play a big role in an earthquake because it carries the energy away from the focus, and onto the earthquake. But the seismic waves don't stay in an earthquake, they go through Earth's interior and carry the energy across the surface. But the people near the earthquake won't feel it as much as the epople who are near the earthquake.
What else can I help you with?
Will a seismic wave traveling through solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave traveling through liquid?
Mechanical waves (like seismic waves) will travel faster through a solid than a liquid.
What travel faster a radio signal or sound in air explain?
Radio signals travel at (essentially) the speed of light, as they are electromagnetic waves like light. Sound waves travel at roughly 1200 km/h. Now you have enough information to answer your own question.
Which is always a transverse wave?
Electromagnetic waves are always transverse waves, meaning their oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of wave travel. Examples include light, radio waves, and X-rays.
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.
Do sound waves travel faster threw liquid or solid?
Sound waves generally travel faster through solids than through liquids. This is because the particles in solids are closer together, allowing for more efficient transmission of seismic waves. In liquids, the particles are more spread out, leading to slower sound wave propagation.
Are the primary waves faster then the secondary waves?
Primary seismic waves travel the fastest.
What is the objective of travel faster radio waves or sound waves?
sound waves
Do seismic waves from more powerful earthquakes travel faster than waves from weaker quakes?
yes
What type of earthquake wave travels faster?
P-waves(primary waves) travel faster than S-waves(secondary waves)
Is a seismic wave the same as a radio wave?
No. Seismic waves are mechanical. Radio waves are electromagnetic.
Why do radio waves travel faster than the sound wave?
Radio waves are just low frequency light waves. They travel at the speed of light, much faster than sound waves which are just changes in pressure traveling in waves
What does seismic?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
Will a seismic wave traveling through solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave traveling through liquid?
Mechanical waves (like seismic waves) will travel faster through a solid than a liquid.
In what direction do seismic waves carry the energy of an earthquake?
Seismic waves are the earths crust vibrating. there are two types of waves P-waves and S-waves (Primary and Secondary) Primary waves travel faster than s waves and can travel through solid and liquid, S-waves can only travel through solids
Is an earthquakes faster than tornadoes?
The seismic waves of an earthquake travel faster than the winds of a tornado. But this is not what makes earthquakes destructive.
What did scientists use to figure out that earth's inner core is solid rock?
Seismic waves travel faster when they travel through the core
Are surface waves the first to arrive at a seismic facilty?
No, surface waves are typically the last seismic waves to arrive at a seismic facility. They travel more slowly than body waves (P and S waves) and arrive after the initial shaking caused by the faster body waves.
