The speed of the waves depends on the density of the material.
Seismic waves can dramatically change in velocity and direction when they encounter boundaries between different types of rock or geological formations. These changes, known as refraction and reflection, occur at interfaces with contrasting physical properties, leading to the bending or bouncing of seismic waves. The behavior of seismic waves at these boundaries provides valuable information about the Earth's interior structure.
If an area has a strong amount of seismic waves along, or around, you can predict if an area is active for earthquakes

Stress waves
Seismic waves can change dramatically when they encounter boundaries between different geological materials with contrasting densities and elastic properties, such as the crust-mantle boundary or the core-mantle boundary. These changes in seismic wave behavior are key in helping scientists study the internal structure of the Earth.
Geologists use seismic wave data to understand the Earth's structure and identify fault lines. By analyzing the speed, direction, and intensity of seismic waves, geologists can assess the potential for future earthquakes in a region based on historical seismic activity patterns and the characteristics of the surrounding geological features. This information helps them determine earthquake risk levels and develop strategies for earthquake preparedness and mitigation.
