Which forms of matter can primary and secondary seismic waves travel through?

Primary seismic waves are longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses (although seismic waves are of to low a frequency to normally be heard).
Secondary seismic waves are transverse waves and only travel through solids.

What happens to seismic waves when they pass through the solid inner core?
Seismic waves than changes direction and speed because of the matter it's passing through and the moving from different matter's (Inner core-Outer core)
Do secondary consumers eat meat?
Typical primary consumers are considered herbivorous (eating plant matter). Due to their feeding ecology and anatomical adaptations for a herbivorous diet, it is unlikely that a true primary consumer would eat a secondary consumer. However, if the primary consumer is more omnivorous (eating plant and animal matter), then it is possible that they may consume some meat from a fallen predator if the opportunity and need arises. A more common scenario would be where an omnivorous (though mostly herbivorous) animal, such as a lemur, might eat a spider, a predatory arthropod.
What are P and S waves also called?
In seismology, a P-wave is a primary wave, or sometimes a pressure wave. In general, the primary wave is the fastest moving seismic wave, as it is the first to reach any detector (seismometer) set up to sense them. Use the link below for more information.
How is matter and energy used in ecosystems?
Energy is described by a pyramid diagram (the ecological pyramid). There are 4 layers in the pyramid. The bottom layer is producers. They produce all the energy that goes up the pyramid. The second layer is the primary consumers, or herbivores, who eat the producers. Next, there is the secondary consumer layer, the organisms in it eat other consumers. Finally, there are tertiary consumers eat secondary and primary consumers.Note: as you go up the pyramid, the original energy from the level below it is reduced to 10% of the original energy from the level below it. The primary consumers get 10% of the energy the producers made, and so on, so the secondary consumers get 1% of the original energy, and the tertiary get 0.1% if the energy!See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_pyramid for a picture of the ecological pyramid.
When no life exists in an area what type of succession begins?
Primary succession occurs in an area with no soil or organic matter, like an area after a volcanic eruption. Secondary succession occurs where there is already soil.
Why secondary waves cannot travel trough liquids?
It's not so much whether they are primary or secondary; the waves that can't travel through liquids, or gases for that matter, are transverse waves.
You are trying to find out what the law is about secondary beneficiary missing does the primary beneficiary have any rights?
If a secondary beneficiary is missing, the primary beneficiary typically has the right to receive the benefits allocated to them under the terms of the law or the specific insurance policy. The primary beneficiary's rights will depend on the language of the policy and applicable state laws. It is important to review the policy language and consult with legal counsel for guidance in these situations.
What happens to seismic waves when they pass through the solid inner core?
Seismic waves than changes direction and speed because of the matter it's passing through and the moving from different matter's (Inner core-Outer core)
Is a koalas a secondary consumer or primary?
The koala is a primary consumer because it feeds solely on vegetation and plant matter.
These waves originate at the focus and can travel through all tyes of matter?

Which organisim is a 'secondary consumer'?
Secondary consumers are organisms that eat primary consumers. Primary consumers eat primary producers. Primary producers are plants that photosynthesize sun light into chemical energy. A cow, for example, that eats grass (a primary producer) is considered to be a primary consumer. The wolf (or a human for that matter), who eats the cow (a primary consumer), is defined as the secondary consumer.
Shearing seismic waves that move rocks and other matter in a direction perpendicular to the waves are traveling?
Primary waves (p waves)
What kind of consumers are we primary or secondary?
We are generally both. If you eat meat and vegetable matter, then you are both. Only vegans are primary consumers.
What are the secondary skills WOW?
The secondary skills are the ones everyone can get no matter what they have for their primary proffessions. These include: Cooking First Aid Fishing Archaelogy and technically Riding is a secondary skill.
How do you measure the power input and power output for the step-up transformer?
Power input to a transformer = (voltage across the primary winding) x (current through the primary)Power output = (voltage across the secondary winding) x (current through the secondary)It doesn't matter whether the transformer is used in step-up, step-down or simple isolation.
If you have Tricare Prime through your husband who is retired military and you also have Blue Shield through work as a federal employee which is primary and which is secondary?
Tricare prime from your husband is the primary and your federal employee insurance is secondary. It means whatever Tricare Prime does not cover, Blue Shield should pick it up. Ah, wrong. If you read the Tricare documentation, it clearly states if you have another health insurance company, Tricare is automatically the secondary. It doesn't matter who is the military member.
