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:
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 wave does not originate from the focus?
Surface waves do not originate from the focus. These waves are created when seismic energy reaches the Earth's surface and move horizontally along it, causing the ground to move in a rolling motion.
What do you call the center of a seismic wave?
The center of a seismic wave is called the focus or hypocenter. This is the point within the Earth where the seismic waves originate.
Where did the mexican originate?
It first started in the 1986 World cup in Mexico. Hence the Mexican wave
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.
Where do sound waves originate?
Sound waves originate from a vibrating object that creates oscillations in the surrounding air particles. These oscillations cause a disturbance in air pressure, which propagates as a wave through the medium.
Where do longitudinal waves originate?
Longitudinal waves originate from a source that causes the particles of the medium to oscillate back and forth in the same direction as the wave is traveling. This type of wave produces compressions and rarefactions in the medium as it moves through it. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.
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.
What is required for a mechanical wave to move?
A mechanical wave requires a medium to propagate through, such as a solid, liquid, or gas. The wave also needs a source of energy to create disturbances or vibrations in the medium, which are then transferred from one particle to another to propagate the wave. Lastly, the medium needs to have elasticity and inertia to allow the wave to travel through it.
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.
