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.
Mechanical waves (like seismic waves) will travel faster through a solid than a liquid.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Primary seismic waves travel the fastest.
sound waves
yes
P-waves(primary waves) travel faster than S-waves(secondary waves)
No. Seismic waves are mechanical. Radio waves are electromagnetic.
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
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
Mechanical waves (like seismic waves) will travel faster through a solid than a liquid.
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
The seismic waves of an earthquake travel faster than the winds of a tornado. But this is not what makes earthquakes destructive.
Seismic waves travel faster when they travel through the core
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.
