What makes a compression wave?
compression wave is a wave like a sound wave
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
What wave is similar to an ocean's wave?
A sound wave
Which earthquake wave is not a seismic wave?
the sound wave
How did the p wave get named?
It stands for Primary wave, just as S wave stands for Secondary wave. It's the first wave that comes in an earthquake. C:
What wave does not originate from the focus?
Surface wave
Where did the new wave of expression in movies originate?
The New Wave style of expression originated in Europe.
Where did the New Wave style of expression in movies originate?
The New Wave style of expression originated in Europe.
Where did the Mexican wave originate?
It first started in the 1986 World cup in Mexico. Hence the Mexican wave
What is required for a mechanical wave to move?
a source of energy for it to originate from, and a medium in which to move through

Is a seismic wave a rock that makes up the core of the continents?
No. A seismic wave can simply be though of as an "earthquake wave". Seismic waves originate in the tectonic plates of the Earth as they crash against each other, causing a vibration.
What causes shock waves?
A shock wave is generally thought of as a compression wave that radiates from a mechanical event, like an explosion. Same thing with earthquakes. There is a compression wave in all these events. We can see a compression wave originate from something breaking the sound barrier, and that's another example. Something moving faster than sound generates the shock wave on a continuous basis, and we hear the boom! as the wave reaches us. The same thing applies in sonar when the transmitter emits a "ping" into the water. The transducer vibrates, and a compression wave is generated. Where a source of mechanical energy causes movement, a compression wave can originate and radiate. It could be argued that compression waves originate from a source of sound. That's because sound is a mechanical wave, as it is mechanical energy. Certainly it generally isn't thought of as having the power of an explosion, though. In addition to the compression waves of sound, there are the "opposite" waves. These are areas where the air is rarefied or "uncompressed" between the areas where the compression waves are traveling. A shock wave is usually the term we apply to the leading edge of a compression wave from some mechanical event. It is carrying mechanical energy outward from the cause.
Where was hurricane Irene?
Hurricane Irene originate off the coast of Africa a a tropical wave that organized into a tropical storm about 200 miles west of the Lesser Antilles.
Where do waves originate?
Longitudinal waves are the result of earthquakes, and are also known as Primary, or P-Waves. Longitudinal waves are faster than Transverse (Secondary) Waves. A diagram of a Longitudinal wave is a straight line, with a denser area where the wave itself is travelling.
