Which one of the following earthquake waves is not a body wave
Answers
Answer:
seismic waves
Explanation:
the epicenter of an earthquake sends out waves which are like an object dropped on to a still body of water that sends out ripples. After the stone hits the water ripples move outwards from the centre in every direction. An earthquake releases energy as shock waves, the so-called seismic waves, which ripple across the earth's surface. The seismic waves created as they move from the epicentre an earthquake vary. What is amazing is how fast they can travel: up to 2 miles per second in granite!
Seismic waves can be classified into two basic types: body waves which travel through the Earth and surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface. Those waves that are the most destructive are the surface waves which generally have the strongest vibration.
