a medium such as air.
Mechanical waves may travel through any medium except vacuum.

They can both travel through a medium.
No, mechanical or pressure waves can not travel through empty space
Mechanical waves may travel through any medium except vacuum.
The biggest difference is that mechanical waves require a medium to travel through and electromagnetic waves do not.
Mechanical waves require media through which they can travel.
NO! Seismic waves can't travel through space. They are mechanical waves. Mechanical waves require going through mediums and there isn't a medium in space.
Yes, mechanical waves do need a medium in order to travel. Other waves, such as light, do not (thus they can travel through space).
Yes, but mechanical waves need matter to travel through. EM waves can travel through vacuums as well.
Vacuum
Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium in which to travel, i.e., a solid or fluid. As sound needs a medium to travel, sound is a mechanical wave.

They can both travel through a medium.
A mechanical wave can travel through a medium with mass and elasticity. Examples are air and water (sound waves), earth (earthquakes).
