S-waves go up and down while P--waves go back and fourth.

What creates a earthquake?
It result from the moving of rock deep under the ground. This movement is caused by the rubbing of one plate into another. The plates have jagged edges, and so when they rub against each other, they get stuck. Since plates constantly move, the plates that are stuck create great tension, and when they are finally free, a huge amount of energy is released. Shock waves move from focus in all directions, and it causes the earth to vibrate.
Is it possible to make a model building withstand Primary Waves Secondary Waves and Surface Waves of an earthquake?
yes
Are the S waves the fastest?
The question refers to the "following". In such circumstances would it be too much to expect that you make sure that there is something that is following?
What is ground movement?
brunnett beauty: What is ground movement? I believe ground movement is the plates moving in the earth just like how earthquakes form by plates in the ground colide to make movement in the earth.
How do earthquakes change the land?
Depending on the environment they are in when they occur, earthquakes can: - create faults and folds in the earth's crust - trigger local volcanoes - create tsunamis - destroy local man-made buildings and/or structures
What type of seismic wave can make the ground roll like ocean waves?
Surface waves can cause the ground to roll like ocean waves. Surface waves are a type of seismic wave that travel along the Earth's surface and have a more pronounced effect on buildings and structures compared to other types of seismic waves.
What kind of movements is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves?
P waves - compress and expand the ground like a Accordion S waves - vibrate from side to side as well as up and down Surface waves - make the ground roll like ocean waves The Earthquake is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves.
What kind of movement is produced by each type of the three seismic waves?
P waves - compress and expand the ground like a accordion S waves - vibrate from side to side as well as up and down Surface waves - make the ground roll like ocean waves The Earthquake is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves.
Which seismic waves make the ground roll like ocean waves?
Surface waves, specifically Love and Rayleigh waves, are responsible for creating the rolling motion in the ground during an earthquake. These waves travel along the surface of the Earth and can cause buildings and structures to sway back and forth, similar to ocean waves.
What wave do earthquakes make?
Seismic waves Types: Primary waves Secondary waves Surface waves
What kind of movement is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves?
P waves - compress and expand the ground like a Accordion S waves - vibrate from side to side as well as up and down Surface waves - make the ground roll like ocean waves The Earthquake is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves.
Waves that can make the ground roll like ocean waves they usually cause the most damage during an earthquake?
These are known as seismic surface waves. They travel along the Earth's surface and cause the ground to move in a rolling motion. They are responsible for the most damage during an earthquake as they can generate strong shaking and displacement of structures.
What type of wave does an earthquake make?
seismic waves and pressure waves it depends on intensity of the earthquake
Which types of seismic wave produces the most severe ground movement?
Rayleigh waves (which are a type of surface wave) produce the largest amplitude and so most severe ground movements during earthquakes.Surface waves produce the most severe ground movements. They produce movements similar to waves in the water, where the water's particles move in a pattern that is almost circular. Surface waves can make the ground roll like ocean waves or shake buildings from side to side. They move more slowly then P waves or S waves.
Are waves created by tectonic plates?
Yes, waves are created by tectonic plates during seismic events such as earthquakes. When tectonic plates shift or collide, they release energy in the form of seismic waves that propagate through the Earth, leading to the shaking and movement of the ground.
What type of waves can make the ground roll like ocean waves?
Primary waves
What are main types of seismic waves?
compressional and shear waves(:the ones above are not up to date but the ones below areP WavesS WavesSurface Waves* *l_l
