That's called a "wave".
It is Refraction
A wave can travel through any material, whether it be a gas, a liquid, or a solid. The only limiting factors are distance and lack of a material to carry the wave.

The general term for what a wave travels through is a medium, but in the case of earthquakes the wave travels through the ground.

The p wave is a pressure wave after a earthquake and it travels the fastest. An s wave is a wave that moves side to side and is second fastest. Bouth types of waves can go though all material but at different speeds. The denser the material the faster is gose generally. The last wave type is a L wave and it is a rolling wave that is also the slowest wave.
Sound waves can travel through any material, but not through a VACUUM. You may be thinking of the term "MEDIUM", which is often used GENERICALLY to signify what a 'Wave" is traveling through. -------------------------------------------------- The material is called "matter".
The material through which a wave travels is called the medium.

a sesmic wave is a wave that moves perpendicular through the earth
It moves energy through space.
