Why do P waves travel faster through the lithosphere than through the asthenosphere?
because the P waves move faster through more rigid substances than through non rigid material>
Does sound travel faster through space or room temperature?
Nope, sounds doesn't travel faster on space because a medium is needed a region to another
Does water travel faster through sand soil or gravel?
Water will travel faster in gravel than sandStudents in secondary school should know this!
Why do seismic waves travel faster through solid rock than through water?
Water has a higher density than rock. -Gordon Crocker
What happens to P- and S- waves when they reach the center of the earth?
P waves travel much faster than S waves so they reach the core faster. They can travel through the outer core, but change direction slightly, causing a p-waves shadow zone. S waves cannot travel through the outer core because it is liquid and has zero rigidity so they are diverted around it causing a much larger shadow zone called the S wave shadow zone. Surface, or L waves cannot travel through the earth at all. P-waves are observed directly opposite to the epicentre of earthquake which states that the wave passing through the earth as a diameter has no effect on its path.

What specific solid does sound travel through the fastest?
The denser the faster. ie: it will travel faster through quartz than sandstone.
Does sound travel faster through a solid or water?
sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles
Where do sound travel faster?
Through metals
Waves travel quicker through solid gases?
Waves travel faster through denser materials. However, Electromagnetic waves travel faster through less dense materials. It travels fastest in vacuum.
Does sound or light travel faster through water?
Light travels much faster than sound, through wood.
Why do sound waves travel faster through iron than air?
Iron is denser than air. Waves travel faster through denser medium.
What will travel faster through water than through air?
Sound
Does light travel faster through air or through lens?
Air.
Does waves travel through solids or liquids faster?
Sound waves travel faster through denser media, like solids, because the molecules are closer together, making it easier to pass the sound from molecule to molecule. Light and other electromagnetic waves travel faster through less dense media, and they travel fastest through a vacuum.
How many times faster does sound travel through steel than through air?
15 times faster
Does sound travel through solids or gases faster?
Sound travels faster through solids because, molecules in solids are much closer together so this allows sound waves to travel faster.
