An elastic wave generated by an impulse such as an earthquake or an explosion iscalled ______.
sound wave
epicentre
tectonic shift
seismic wave
- Seismic wave (Option 4): This is the correct answer. Seismic waves are elastic waves that travel through the Earth and are generated by natural occurrences such as earthquakes or artificial disturbances like explosions.
- Sound wave (Option 1): These are waves that travel through air or another medium and are perceived as sound; they are not typically associated with geological events like earthquakes.
- Epicentre (Option 2): This is the point on the Earth's surface directly above where an earthquake originates. It isn't a wave but refers to the location of seismic activity.
- Tectonic shift (Option 3): This refers to the movement of the Earth's plates. It's a broader concept related to seismic activity but not a type of wave.
