as v=f/\(lemda), it shows that velocity dependx on the frequency of wave i.e numbr of wavs produced in one second and wavelength(lemda) which is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs in transverse waves nd in longitudnal waves it is distance betwen two consecutive compressions or rarefactions.

Why do seismic waves change speed?
"True, the Seismic Waves change speed and direction when they encounter different materials."
What affects the speed of seismic waves?
The speed of seismic waves are affected by the type of material that the waves are traveling through. in other words (as an example): some type of waves can travel through rocks but not through liquids.
What happens to seismic waves in the air?
In air, the seismic waves(P-wave) are simply sound waves, and travel with the speed of sound (approx. 335 m/s).
What place within the earth where the speed of seismic waves increases sharply?
The Moho

Does the speed of a wave depend on the medium it is moving through?
Yes. The speed of mechanical waves, like sound and seismic, depends on the mechanical properties of the medium. The speed of electromagnetic waves, like light and radio, depends on the electrical properties of the medium.
What happens to seismic waves when they hit the MOHO?
They speed up
What happens to seismic waves in the air?
In air, the seismic waves(P-wave) are simply sound waves, and travel with the speed of sound (approx. 335 m/s).
Which seismic wave moves through Earth at the fastest speed?
p-waves which is primary waves
Seismic waves increase in speed when they enter what?
a more rigid material
What is a place inside the earth where the speed of seismic waves increase sharply?
MOHO(:
Where is the place within the earth where the speed of seismic waves increases sharply?
Moho
What place within the earth where the speed of seismic waves increases sharply?
The Moho
Is seismic waves and earthquake waves the same?
Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.
Do seismic waves speed up or slow down as they travel downward and reach the Moho?
Speed up
