The seismic waves that travel through Earths interior are waves.?
body waves
Do p waves travel through earths mantle?
Yes, P-waves (primary waves) can travel through the Earth's mantle. P-waves are a type of seismic wave that is capable of propagating through solid, liquid, and gaseous materials. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through the mantle, which is the layer between the Earth's crust and core.
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).
Seismic shaking is a msasure of?
Seismic waves are the vibrations from earthquakes that travel through the earths surface and is measured bye the shaking you feel.
Which layers can S-waves travel through?
s-waves travel through solids only
What do earthquake waves travel through?
earthquake waves travel through the earths crust.
Can S waves travel through the earths mantle?
s-waves do not travel through Earth's mantle
The seismic waves that travel through Earths interior are waves?
body waves

What kind of waves can travel through earth and along earths surface?
The wave that can travel through earth and along earths surface is a SEISMIC wave.
Do Secondary waves travel through the earths surface?

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.
In what direction do seismic waves carry the energy of an earthquake?
Seismic waves are the earths crust vibrating. there are two types of waves P-waves and S-waves (Primary and Secondary) Primary waves travel faster than s waves and can travel through solid and liquid, S-waves can only travel through solids
Why do waves change speed as they travel through earths layer?
Different materials have different velocities of sound propagation.
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).
