What is the connection between seismic waves and an earthquake?
A seismic wave is created by a earthquake.
What is a type of wave that travels through earth's interior?
A seismic wave, or an earthquake.
What type of seismic wave arrives after an earthquake?
A seismic wave travels through the Earth's layers, after a volcano, explosion, or earthquake. Transverse, compressional, longitude, and shear waves are all types of seismic waves after earthquakes.
Is a seismic wave a wave of energy produced at the focus of an earthquake as elastic strain is released?
Secondary wave (s wave )
A difference between sound waves and seismic waves?
Sound wave is is generated by a vibrating object.Whereas, seismic wave is the vibration generated by an earthquake or explosion.
Which earthquake wave is not a seismic wave?
the sound wave
What is the connection between seismic waves and an earthquake?
A seismic wave is created by a earthquake.
What are the seismic wave of an earthquake?
Its vibrations.
Kind of wave released during an wave?
Earthquake waves are called seismic waves.
How are seismic wave and earthquake alike?
seismic waves are a result of earthquakes
What wave is a wave of energy produced at the focus of an earthquake?
A seismic wave. If the earthquake occurs under water, the seismic waves can produce waves in the water called tsunami.
What does a seismic wave measure?
amplitude of an earthquake
Can there be a seismic wave without having an earthquake?
It is possible to have a seismic wave without having an earthquake. Any wave moving through the ground is a seismic wave, and all earthquakes are seismic waves. But seismic waves can be created by volcanic action, landslides, meteor strikes or the like. Though all earthquakes are seismic waves, not all seismic waves are earthquakes.
What is another word for seismic waves?
earthquake wave or shock wave
How earthquake are located?
I'm pretty sure that an earthquake gives off a seismic wave and that seismic wave is then written on a seismograph that tells how strong it was and what kind of wave it was. with that knowledge a scientist can estimate how far away the earthquake was when it started and where it was
What do type of wave do earthquake produce?
Seismic waves.
What is a wave of energy that travels through earth away from an earthquake?
A seismic wave.
