Question

earthquakes give off sesmic waves. scientist used earthquake waves to?

Answer 1

Earthquakes radiate seismic energy as both body and surface waves. Traveling through the interior of the earth, body waves arrive before the surface waves emitted by an earthquake. These waves are of a higher frequency than surface waves.

Seismic and the Earth. they came. Geologists use these records to establish the structure of Earth's interior. The two principal types of seismic waves are P-waves (pressure; goes through liquid and solid) and S-waves (shear or secondary; goes only through solid - not through liquid).

Seismologists use the difference in arrival time between P and S waves to calculate the distance between the earthquake source and the recording instrument (seismograph). Seismograph sites need to be on hard rock and well away from traffic and other sources of artificial ground noise.

Answer 2

scientist use them to measure the intensity I.e. the power of earthquake.
