Which have scientist learned from studying seismic waves that travel through earths interior?

The speed of the waves that travel through the interior can tell the density of each layer of the Earth. Some waves can make it through certain layers, but not others.


What kind of waves can travel through earth and along earths surface?

Seismic waves are the types of waves that can travel through the Earth and along its surface. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves (such as primary and secondary waves) that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves (such as Love and Rayleigh waves) that travel along the Earth's surface.


What do earthquake waves travel through?

earthquake waves travel through the earths crust.


Do Secondary waves travel through the earths surface?

No, secondary waves (S-waves) cannot travel through the Earth's surface. They are a type of seismic wave that move through the Earth's interior and cannot propagate in liquids or gases, making them unable to travel through the surface.


Geologist use direct from what to learn about earths interior?

Geologists use evidence from seismic waves to learn about earth's interior. Geologists record the seismic waves and study how they travel through earth. By Brianna.


Why might an earthquake's primary wave but not it's secondary wave reach a location on the other side of the world from the epicenter?

Only primary waves travel thought the earths interior because S waves cannot travel through the liquid portion of Earths interior and P waves can. Whoever you are, you were just schooled by an eighth grader =)
