What state of matter do P and S waves travel through?
P waves can travel through all types of matter. S waves can only travel through solids.
A seismogram shows that p waves travel?
The seismogram shows that P waves travel faster than S waves, as they are the first waves to arrive at the seismograph station after an earthquake occurs. P waves are compressional waves that can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, whereas S waves are shear waves that can only travel through solids.
Can a p wave travel through gas?
Yes, a P-wave can travel through gas. P-waves are seismic waves that are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They compress and expand the material they travel through, which allows them to propagate through gases as well.
What earthquake waves travel through solids?
P waves or primary waves.
Which earthquake waves travel through matter with a push pull motion?
Primary (P) waves, also known as compressional waves, travel through matter with a push-pull motion. These waves are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
Do p waves travel through gases?
Yes, P-waves (primary waves) can travel through gases, liquids, and solids. They are seismic waves that are the fastest and can propagate through any material, including the Earth's atmosphere.
What type of waves travel through earth's interior?
p-waves
Which type of waves can travel through earth's outer cores?
Primary waves ( P-waves) can travel through earth's outer core.
What seismic waves move the fastest?
Primary (P) waves move the fastest among seismic waves. They are compressional waves that travel through the Earth's interior, and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
What can s waves not travel through?
S-waves cannot travel through liquids, but they can travel through solids and gases. P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases. Hope this helped! :D
How have scientists determined that the outer layer is liquid?
Seismic waves can be separated into basically two different types; S-waves and P-waves. P-waves are able to travel through liquid and solid, but S-waves can not travel through a liquid, they can only travel through a solid. When scientist "shoot" P and S-waves at the outer core, they detect the P-waves coming out the other side, but not the S-waves.
P waves can travel through solids and liquids but S waves can only travel through solids P waves travel faster through rock than through liquid This fact is used to help determine the composition yo?
...the composition of the Earth.
