Do secondary waves travel through solids but not through liquids?
Secondary waves are transverse or shear waves which are able to pass through solids, but are not able to pass through liquids.
What happens when p waves and S waves try to pass through the outer core?
s waves cant travel through it
What affects the speed of seismic waves?
The speed of seismic waves are affected by the type of material that the waves are traveling through. in other words (as an example): some type of waves can travel through rocks but not through liquids.
What type of waves is produced during an earthquake?
Seismic waves consist ofP waves which travel through the Earth fast. They compress the medium they travel through;S waves which also travel through the Earth, shearing the solid Earth as they go. S waves do not travel through liquid;Surface waves which can cause the Earth to undulate like water waves or surface waves that cause the Earth to shear.
How is energy released during earthquakes travels in seismic waves?
Seismic waves are the forms of energy produced by an earthquake.
When waves cut completly through a headland what is formed?
When waves cut completely through a headland, a feature called a sea cave is formed. Sea caves are formed by the relentless erosion of waves gradually wearing away the weaker rock layers of a headland. Over time, the waves create openings and cavities that can extend deep into the headland.
Which coastal feature is sometimes created when waves erode a headland?
A cave is sometimes created when waves erode a headland.
When waves strike the shoreline they concentrate their energy on?
headland
What type of seismic waves cannot travel through water?
Secondary waves cannot travel through anything that is completely liquid
What is a sandbar extending into a bay from a headland of island called?
it is a underwater dune made by waves.
What is formed when waves cut completely through a headline?
Sea stack
What happens when Waves wash away sides of headland forming a?
I don't know but i would like to!
Which forms of matter can primary and secondary seismic waves travel through?
Primary seismic waves are longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses (although seismic waves are of to low a frequency to normally be heard). Secondary seismic waves are transverse waves and only travel through solids.
Does radiation from the sun travel through space in forms of waves?
Yes some of it does.
What is formed when waves cut completely through the rock in sea cave?
If you mean what I think you mean, the erosion cutting a large hole through a narrow headland, then it's a ROCK ARCH, simple as that. If the length is significantly greater than its diameter, producing a tunnel-like structure, then it would still be correct to call it a CAVE. If the breach is from cave roof to the land surface above, and emitting vast plumes of air and spray from storm waves, it is a BLOWHOLE.
