What seismic waves can not move through liquid?
Secondary
What kind of seismic waves do and do not travel through liquid?
S-waves can not travel through liquids. By Hollie
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.
Will a seismic wave traveling through a solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave traveling through liquid?
Seismic waves travels faster through solid rock than water because their speed depends on the density and composition of material that they pass through.Solid rock is denser than water, hence the energy from seismic waves transfer faster through solid rock than in water.
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 seismic waves can not move through liquid?
Secondary
Will a seismic wave traveling through solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave traveling through liquid?
Mechanical waves (like seismic waves) will travel faster through a solid than a liquid.
What seismic wave can go through liquid?
p 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
What type of seismic waves cannot travel through water?
Secondary waves cannot travel through anything that is completely liquid
What does seismic?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.

Is seismic waves and earthquake waves the same?
Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.
The study of how seismic waves change as they travel through the EARTH HAS REVEALED?
Earth's outer core is liquid because S-waves are not transmitted through this layer
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
