What do earthquake waves travel through?

earthquake waves travel through the earths crust.


When the shift occurs in the earths crust the energy radiates as what?

When a shift occurs in the Earth's crust, the energy can radiate as seismic waves. These waves travel through the Earth's interior and can be detected and measured by seismographs. Depending on the type of fault movement, the seismic waves produced can be either compressional (P-waves) or shear (S-waves).

Do p waves travel through earths mantle?

Yes, P-waves (primary waves) can travel through the Earth's mantle. P-waves are a type of seismic wave that is capable of propagating through solid, liquid, and gaseous materials. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through the mantle, which is the layer between the Earth's crust and core.


What effects do p waves and S waves have on earths crust?

P-waves (primary waves) and S-waves (secondary waves) are seismic waves generated by earthquakes that travel through the Earth's crust. P-waves are compressional waves that move faster and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, causing the crust to expand and contract, which can lead to shaking. S-waves are shear waves that only travel through solids, moving the crust side-to-side or up-and-down, creating more intense shaking. Together, these waves can cause structural damage, landslides, and other geological changes in the Earth's crust.


What is inner made up of?

if you are talking about the earth here is the answer. The earth is made up of many parts. The outside is called the crust the crust is the thinest part of the earth. The crust is made up of the continental crust and the oceanic crust. The oceanic crust is 3.0 grams/cm squared dense. The continental crust is 2.7 grams/cm squared dense. Other parts of the earths interior are the asthensophere "plastic mantle", stiffer mantle, outer core, and the inner core. We know that the outer core is liquid because a waves do not travel through it, and a waves only don't travel through liquid. These are the components that make up the earths interior.

What effects does each of these waves have on the earths crust?

There are primarily two types of seismic waves that affect the Earth's crust: P-waves (primary waves) and S-waves (secondary waves). P-waves are compressional waves that travel quickly through solids and liquids, causing the crust to compress and expand, but they generally result in less destructive impact. S-waves are shear waves that travel slower and can only move through solids; they cause the ground to shake side-to-side, often resulting in more significant damage to structures and the crust itself during an earthquake. Both types of waves can lead to fracturing and displacement of the crust, contributing to geological changes over time.
