P waves
How do earthquake shock waves affect buildings and structures?
Earthquake shock waves can cause buildings and structures to shake and sway, potentially leading to structural damage or collapse. The intensity of the shock waves can vary based on factors such as the magnitude of the earthquake and the proximity of the building to the epicenter. Buildings designed to withstand earthquakes may have features such as flexible foundations, reinforced walls, and dampers to help absorb and dissipate the energy of the shock waves.
What small vibrations follow a major earthquake?
after shocks or shock waves
What is the shock wave sent through the planet by an earthquake?
Seismic Waves.
What are the most powerful shock waves from an earthquake called?
your fat mama
What waves are the first to reach a seismograph after an earthquake?
The primary waves (P-waves) are the first to reach a seismograph after an earthquake. These waves are faster than other seismic waves and can travel through both solid and liquid materials.
Does the earth shake in the earthquake?
yes,the shock waves spread in all directions like when we throw a stone in a pool of water,as the shock waves goes further the power of the shock decreases
What is the transverse wave that is the second to reach the location of an earthquake?
These are known as the seismic waves or the s waves. They will reach the earthquake location second after the first shock.
What is another word for seismic waves?
earthquake wave or shock wave
