Which seismic wave can go through both solid and liquid?
I don't know but maybe you can look it up on some science website
What is an swave?
An S-wave is a secondary wave that comes after P-waves, and can travel only through solids.
What type of seismic wave can travel through both liquids and solids?
P-waves
Why cant s-waves travel through the core and p-waves can?
P=wave is short for pressure wave. S-wave is short for shear wave. This should suggest a possible reason they behave differently in the (molten) outer core.
How do P-waves and S-waves differ?
P-waves are longitudinal, S-waves are transverse. P-waves travel faster than S-waves. P-waves can travel through Solids and Liquids whereas S-waves can only travel through solids.
Can a P Wave travel through solids and gases?
Yes for both, but it does attenuate significantly on entering gas.
What type of wave cannot travel completely through water?
The S Wave (Secondary Wave) cannot travel through water. On the P Wave (Primary Wave) and the Surface Wave can travel through water.
Does a p wave travel through liquids and solids?
Yes
What kind of earthquake wave can travel through both liquids and solids?
That would be the P wave, or Primary wave
Which type of wave can travel through the liquid core of the Earth?
p waves
Which seismic wave can go through both solid and liquid?
I don't know but maybe you can look it up on some science website
How do rock particles move during the passage of a P wave through the wave?
back and forth parallel to the direction of wave travel
What type of seismic wave does not travel through the core?
Primary waves ( P-waves) can travel through earth's outer core.
What is an swave?
An S-wave is a secondary wave that comes after P-waves, and can travel only through solids.
What type of seismic wave can travel through both liquids and solids?
P-waves
What are two types of seismic waves that travel through earth's interior?
The two types of seismic waves that travel through the Earth are P and S waves. The P wave means primary wave and the S wave is secondary. The wave that travels around the Earth's crust is the L wave, which stands for the Love wave.Hope this helps :)
Will seismic wave traveling through a solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave traveling through liquid why or why not?
why can s-wave can't travel but p-waves can
