Ondas sísmicas

The video tutorial explains different types of seismic waves, focusing on P-waves and S-waves. P-waves are fast-moving compressive waves that travel underground, while S-waves are slower, transverse waves that can travel both underground and on the surface.

What are seismic waves primarily associated with?

• Magnetic fields

• Earth vibrations

• Ocean currents

• Wind patterns

Which type of seismic wave travels the fastest?

• Surface waves

• Rayleigh waves

• S-waves

• P-waves

How do P-waves move through the Earth?

• As a compressive wave

• In a circular motion

• In a zigzag pattern

• As a transverse wave

What is a key characteristic of S-waves?

• They can only travel on the Earth's surface

• They are the fastest seismic waves

• They are compressive waves

• They move in a transverse manner

Where can S-waves travel?

• Only in the ocean

• Only on the surface

• Only underground

• Both underground and on the surface
