Download a unique educational tool, a comic book about the origin of seismic waves during earthquakes and their importance for learning about the structure of our Earth. The comic book is intended for primary school pupils. Once you get acquainted with the story of a seismic wave, play a board game designed for 1-4 players. You can download the game for free below, you will only need 4 game pieces and two dice.<\/p>\n

it spreads from the place of origin in all directions, it can run through the whole Earth, including the Earth’s core, so it can appear on a seismograph in the Czech Republic, even if it originated on the west coast of the U.S.A.; at the interfaces of different environments (different temperature and pressure inside the Earth) it changes speed and direction.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ _builder_version=”4.3.4″ custom_padding=”1px||0px|||”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.3.4″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.ig.cas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/s-vlna.jpg” _builder_version=”4.3.4″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.3.4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.7″]<\/p>\n \u00a0S-wave (secondary wave) – is slower than P-wave and, moreover, cannot pass through a liquid medium (ie where the rock is so hot that it melts and flows – for example, in the earth’s core); therefore, his faster “sister” is lost several times during the journey; but it always reappears when the environment changes; P-waves and S-waves are the cause of earthquakes and tsunamis at sea.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ _builder_version=”4.3.4″ custom_padding=”8px||3px|||”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.3.4″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.ig.cas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/povrchove.jpg” _builder_version=”4.3.4″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.3.4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.7″]<\/p>\n Twins<\/p>\n – the first of the “brothers” is Love’s wave, which oscillates perpendicular to the direction of its movement, that is, it actually slithers like a snake, in loops from side to side;<\/p>\n – the second is the Rayleigh wave, the slowest of all, which is actually circular, so it moves in “somersaults”, similar to the waves we can see in sea waves when they break, spin and create “tunnels”<\/p>\n Both of these waves are created when the P-wave reaches the surface, they propagate at the surface and are slower than the P and S-waves – that’s why our heroine doesn’t know about them until they reach the station;
