What is the difference between a siesmic wave and a seismograph?
a siesmic wave is a wave that travels through the earth. there are two MAIN types, P and S waves. a siesmograph shows the type of wave and how far away it is from that point.
What type of wave is the fastest?
The fastest wave is the electromagnetic wave. Of the seismic waves, the P-wave is the fastest seismic wave.
What are the fastest types of siesmic waves?
The fastest type of seismic wave is the Primary or P-wave, which can travel through solid rock, as well as liquids and gases. P-waves are compressional waves that move in a push-pull motion. They are the first waves detected by seismographs during an earthquake.
What type of wave moves the fastest?
P-waves, also known as primary waves, move the fastest among seismic waves. They are able to travel through solid and liquid materials, making them the first to be detected during an earthquake.
What is the fastest type of seismic wave?
The fastest type of seismic wave is the primary wave, or P-wave. P-waves are compressional waves that travel through solids, liquids, and gases, and they are the first waves to arrive at a seismograph during an earthquake.
What is fastest type of seismic wave?
p waves aka primary waves
Which type of wave travels the fastest?
Electromagnetic waves travel the fastest, at the speed of light in a vacuum, 3.0 x 108 m/s.
What clues helped geologists learn about earth's interior?
Volcanic eruptions, siesmic wave patterns, plate tectonics activities.
What is the fastest the big wave or the small wave?
the middle wave!
What earthquake waves is the fastest?
The first wave is the fastest
Which type of seismic waves have particle motion in the same direction as the wave propagation?
p - these are also the fastest
Which type of siesmic waves can travel throgh solids but not liquid?
Shear waves can travel through solids, but they cannot travel through liquids. Shear waves are a type of seismic wave that shakes particles perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This makes them unable to propagate through liquids, which do not have the necessary shear strength to transmit these waves.
