Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThere are four types of seismic waves, the P-wave, S-wave and the Love and Rayleigh waves.
Of these four types, the P-wave is a longitudinal / compression wave.

What type of thermal energy is When a hair dryer heats a balloon and the air inside it the balloon expands?
conduction
What type of waves are sound waves and how do they transfer energy?
Sound is manifested as a compression wave in a medium. the energy compresses and rarefies the medium transferring the energy to another location (and getting dissipated along the way).
If you drop soap on the ground is the soap dirty or is the floor clean?
If you drop soap on the ground, the soap is dirty AND the floor is clean.
An atom in an excited state contains more of what type of energy than the same atom in the ground state?
more electrons than an atom in the ground state
Why can blonde human hair be used to measure humidity using a mechanical hygrometer?
Because a human hair is used as a type of 'spring' in the device, which expands or contracts according to the moisture present and this moves the indicator needle, thus providing a measurement of the atmospheric humidity.
