there is no specific wave they all travel faster through water but scientifically speaking sesmic waves do i belive also The speed of sound depends on the medium in which it is transported.
The speed of sound is slow in gases, like in air.
The speed of sound is faster in liquids, like in water.
The speed of sound is fastest in solids, like in metal.

What kind of seismic waves do and do not travel through liquid?
S-waves can not travel through liquids. By Hollie
What do shear waves travel through?
Shear waves travel through solids. They cannot travel through liquids and gasses (unlike compressive waves) and they can't travel through a vacuum (unlike electromagnetic waves).
Waves travel faster through liquids and solids?
sound
Why p waves can't pass through liquid?
Sure they can. It is the transverse waves (s waves) that can't travel through liquids.
Can s waves travel through fluids and liquids?
Yes because sound waves go through everything.
A seismogram shows that p waves travel?
P waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases. it is the fastest of all the waves.
Which are always the first waves of an earthquake to be detected?
P waves (primary waves) - the fastest, and can travel through solids liquids or gasses
What waves travel through solids liquids and gases?
Seismic waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
What can s waves not travel through?
S-waves cannot travel through liquids, but they can travel through solids and gases. P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases. Hope this helped! :D
Do sound waves travel better through solids liquids of gas?
Sound waves travel fastest through solids as the molecules are tightly paced in solids. While in LIQUIDS and GASES molecules are far apart and there is a lesser chance of molecules striking one another.
What waves travel through solids but not liquids?
seismic waves
What kind of seismic waves do and do not travel through liquid?
S-waves can not travel through liquids. By Hollie
Seismic waves that cannot travel through liquids?
Shear Waves (S Waves) cannot travel through liquid
Exept where can secondary waves travel?
secondary waves cannot travel through liquids
States would sound waves usually travel the fastest?
Sound waves travel the fastest through nonporous solids.
What do shear waves travel through?
Shear waves travel through solids. They cannot travel through liquids and gasses (unlike compressive waves) and they can't travel through a vacuum (unlike electromagnetic waves).
What are the mediums that waves can travel through?
Waves can travel through many media, depending on their nature. Sound waves can go through solids, liquids and gases. Transverse shock waves can only travel through solids. Electromagnetic waves can go through some solids, liquids or gases, or through a vacuum.
