How we can be confident that part of the Earth's core is liquid when we cannot see it or directly sample it?
Some seismic waves (S waves) does not move through liquid, therefore when these waves stop they have reached liquid.
What is the medium for ripples on a pond and the sound waves from a stereo speaker and seismic waves?
Ripples on a pond are waves moving through (across) water. Sound waves from an audio system move through air (though they can move through other things that they come into contact with). Seismic waves move through the ground, and that means anything on or under it, including rock, magma, water, or just about anything else. (It should be noted that we often consider seismic waves as moving through the ground without differentiating it much, unless we're in a more "involved" or "advanced" study.)
How are earthquake seismic waves similar to thunder and lighting?
it is a wave of Devansh Earthquakes move through the ground in waves, much like how thunder does through air.
What do seismic waves an sound waves have in common?
They both move energy through a field without moving a substance.
How do vibrations move through earth's crust?
There are three types of vibrations:- Primary waves, Secondary waves and long waves. Primary waves can move through solid and liquid. Secondary waves move through only solids and long waves can only move along the surface of the earth's crust.

What body wave can't move through the liquid outer core?
S waves cannot travel through the outer core because they can only travel through solids, and the outer core is liquid.
What move through the earth by causing particles to move at right angles to the waves direction?
S-waves which are a form of seismic wave. Seismic waves are a type of mechanical wave known as a shear or transverse wave that travel through the solid Earth (but not the liquid outer core).
How do seismic waves move through earth?
How do scientists use seismic waves to study the Earth
What are the waves that move through the Earth's crust called?
Seismic waves.

What are the vibrations that move through the ground carrying the energy released during an earthquake called?
Seismic waves
What characteristic of seismic waves tell you this?
Seismic waves are the waves that rapidly move through the earth's crust causing a shift in techtonic plates. These waves tell us how strong an earthquake was.

What are the two categories of seismic waves?
The two main categories of seismic waves are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the Earth.

What seismic waves move the fastest?
P waves
