Rock under stress breaks at the focus, releasing energy and vibrations called seismic waves, which travel away from the focus, through Earth's interior, and across the surface.
The three types of seismic waves are:
Primary waves: The first to arrive at seismographs
Secondary waves: The second to arrive at seismographs
Surface waves: The last and most severe to arrive at seismographs
seismic waves can cause volcanoes by bouncing the waves such as radioactive or sound waves from the ocean floor to the surface.
Earthquakes are when the seismic plates on the earths crust move after pressure from on another is exceeded, seismic waves are produced after an earthquake, and can turn into a tsunami.
Because earths crust is denser than the mantle
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
Seismic waves are the earths crust vibrating. there are two types of waves P-waves and S-waves (Primary and Secondary) Primary waves travel faster than s waves and can travel through solid and liquid, S-waves can only travel through solids
Earthquakes
Earthquakes are when the seismic plates on the earths crust move after pressure from on another is exceeded, seismic waves are produced after an earthquake, and can turn into a tsunami.
This is a Study Island Question. The answer is by seismic waves
The Mohorovicic Discontinuity is the boundary between the crust and the mantle, where seismic waves change velocity.
Because earths crust is denser than the mantle
body waves
By the earths atmosphere

Seismic waves.
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.
