When a seismic wave crosses a boundary it will change directions in the process of?
When a seismic wave crosses a boundary between different materials, it may undergo reflection, refraction, or diffraction. Reflection occurs when the wave bounces off the boundary, while refraction causes the wave to change speed and bend as it enters a different material. Diffraction causes the wave to spread out as it encounters an obstacle or edge.
When a seismic wave crosses a boundary it will change directions in what process?
Refraction
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.
What is another word for seismic waves?
Another word for seismic waves is tremors.
What makes a seismic wave happen?
Seismic waves are generated when there is a sudden release of energy from within the Earth's crust, such as an earthquake or explosion. This energy travels through the Earth as waves, causing the ground to shake. The type of seismic wave produced depends on the type of energy release and the properties of the Earth's layers it travels through.
What seismic wave causes the most damage?
Seismic wave
What is a seismic wave that causes particules of rock to vibrate in the same direction which the wave is moving?
That would be a P-wave or Primary wave which is a longitudinal seismic wave.
Which seismic wave causes damage to da surface?
The surface wave.
Which seismic wave causes particles in the ground to move perpendicular to the wave's propagation?
S waves, or secondary waves, are transverse seismic waves, meaning that the particles being effected by the wave are moving perpendicular to the wave's propagation.
What seismic wave travels at the lowest rate but causes most destruction?
surface waves
When an earthquake strikes which type of seismic wave causes the most destruction?
Surface waves
What can locate a seismic wave?
A seismograph can locate a seismic wave.
Seismic wave that causes the ground to move in two directions?
secondary waves or otherwise known as s-waves
When a rock deforms as it moves and then snaps back together it causes what?
a seismic wave, earthquake, landslide
What type of wave is the fastest?
The fastest wave is the electromagnetic wave. Of the seismic waves, the P-wave is the fastest seismic wave.
How do you stop a seismic wave?
You need a shotgun and shoot the wave and that's how you stop a seismic wave
