What type of seismic wave can travel through both liquids and solids?
P-waves
What does it mean when a seismic wave goes through the earths center?
Seismic waves that can pass through the centre of the Earth must be capable of travelling through liquids (as the outer core is molten). As such we know that these waves are longitudinal or compression waves.
What is a type of wave that travels through earth's interior?
A seismic wave, or an earthquake.
What is the difference between seismic wave and tsunami?
A tsunami wave is a wave of energy that travels through water, while a seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through earth.
A body wave that cannot travel through liquids is?
S wave
What type of seismic wave can travel through both liquids and solids?
P-waves
What is the fastest seismic wave that travels through solids liquids and gases?
Primary: aka P-waves
What is a seismic wave that travels through Earth Interior?
A body wave is a seismic wave that travels through Earths interior.
What is the seismic wave that travel's through the earths interior?
A body wave is a seismic wave that travels through Earths interior.
What does a medium seismic wave travel through?
Seismic waves are vibrations generated by an earthquake. They travel along the surface of the Earth and through the earth. They are a type of wave known as a mechanical wave and as such (unlike electromagnetic waves) require a medium through which to travel. Seismic waves can be split into body and surface waves. The body waves can be split into two main types, the P-wave or primary wave which is a compression or longitudinal wave which can travel through solids, liquids and gasses and the S-wave which is a transverse or shear wave and can only travel through solids.

What is the difference between tsunami - seismic wave?
A tsunami wave is a wave of energy that travels through water, while a seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through earth.
What does seismic?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
Wave that passes through earth?
Seismic Wave. :D
What is a seismic wave that travels through the earths interior?
body waves
What is the definition of a primary and secondary seismic waves?
Primary wave- (P-waves) travel through solids liquids and gas. push/pull or compress waves. They travel faster and arive at seismic stations first. Secondary waves-(S-waves) travels ONLY through solids. moves side to side. Gets to the seismic stations second. I hope that helps!!
Will seismic wave traveling through a solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave traveling through liquid why or why not?
why can s-wave can't travel but p-waves can
