Is an earthquake a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
What do longitudinal waves have to do with earthquakes?
The disturbance from an earthquake propagates as a wave. This wave can be either longitudinal or transverse. (Since waves that pass through the Earth's core are always longitudinal, geologists conclude that the Earth is liquid. A liquid won't transport transverse waves.)
What is the highest pint of the transverse wave called?
The highest point on a transverse wave is called a crest. Also, the lowest point is called a trough.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
A wave ceated by a shaking rope up and down is called?
transverse wave
Is an earthquake a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
What is a wave that occurs at the surface betwene to mediums?
transverse wave
A wave that occurs at the boundary between two media when transverse waves combine?
A standing wave occurs when two transverse waves combine.
What is a transverse wave associated with an earthquake and which cannot move through liquid?
The Secondary or S-wave is a transverse wave associated with earthquakes that can not pass through liquids.
How does a wave form?
This occurs when transverse waves and longitudinal waves combine!
What type of particle vibration occurs in transverse wave?
oscillatory motion
Are light waves transverse waves?
Yes, light waves are transverse, because in light wave, disturbance of the medium occurs at right angles to the direction of wave propagation of wave.
What is a wave that occurs at the boundary between two media when transverse and longitudinal waves combine?
megnetic wave and or a surface wave
What is a wave that occurs at or near the boundary of two different media?
Either Longitudinal, transverse, or a surface wave.
How does a wave surface form?
This occurs when transverse waves and longitudinal waves combine!
What form of energy is released when earthquakes occurs?
seismic wave
Is light a transverse wave or a compressal wave?
A transverse wave
