Sound waves and electrmagnetic waves go through the atmosphere, to name two.
P' waves and 'S' waves are both seismic waves that travel through the Earth. 'S'waves are unable to go through any liquid. 'P' waves, on the other hand, can go through both solids and liquids.
Because the Earth's core is liquid; S-waves can't travel through liquid.
no! ITS BECAUSE s WAVES GO ONLY THROUGH SOLIDS AND P WAWES GO THROUGH LIQUID GASSES AND SOLIDS AND WE CAN TELL LIKE HOW THE CORE IS A LIQUID
There are two types of waves. There are S waves (sheer waves) and P waves (compressional waves). The S waves won't travel through the outer core because it's a liquid, but the P waves will go through it and continue going through the inner core as well.
Sound waves and electrmagnetic waves go through the atmosphere, to name two.
Primary waves and secondary waves (body waves). Love waves and rayleigh waves (surface waves) do not travel through the earth's mantle. Though secondary waves do not go through liquids, the asthenosphere is only a semi-liquid, so secondary waves can still go through it.
Seismic waves consist ofP waves which travel through the Earth fast. They compress the medium they travel through;S waves which also travel through the Earth, shearing the solid Earth as they go. S waves do not travel through liquid;Surface waves which can cause the Earth to undulate like water waves or surface waves that cause the Earth to shear.
P waves are strong waves so that's the reason they can go through the core of the earth. The core would "break" any other wave because there not strong enough to go through.
Surface waves (as the name suggests) travel along Earth's surface. Seismic waves that travel through earth's interior are known instead as body waves.

Seismic waves are vibrations that travel through the Earth carrying the energy released during earthquakes. == Seismic waves are waves that are a result of earthquake activity in the earth. There are body and surface waves. Body waves happen inside the earth and are called P (longitudinal) and S (transverse) waves. Surface waves happen on the Earth's surface and are called Rayleigh and Love waves. P-waves (primary waves) go first, compress and expand the earth, and are faster. S-waves (secondary waves) go second, move the ground up and down or side to side, and are not as fast as P waves.
