How does sound travel through a solid?
Sound, which is mechanical energy, travels through a solid by setting up a mechanical compression wave in that solid. When the compression wave of the sound in air strikes the solid, it compresses the solid. It isn't much, but the energy delivered by the air is transferred into the solid. Waves of compression and rarefaction move through the solid as they did in air, but move much faster in a solid.
What are all mechanical waves?
There are two types of waves, mechanical and non-mechanical waves. A mechanical wave needs some sort of medium, like an earthquake to move the water.
Do molicules move faster in a solid or in a liquid?
In liquid molecules move faster but in solid the molecules would vibrate about its mean position
Will a sound wave move faster in winter?
No it will move slower. Waves move faster in warm air and slower in cold air.
Why does solid and air move faster?
Faster than what? It isn't clear what you are comparing it with.

What do waves carry as they move?
mechanical waves carry mechanical energy and electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic energy.
How much faster does p waves move than s waves?
P-waves move around 3 km/s faster than s-waves.
What move through the earth by causing particles to move at right angles to the waves direction?
S-waves which are a form of seismic wave. Seismic waves are a type of mechanical wave known as a shear or transverse wave that travel through the solid Earth (but not the liquid outer core).
Can both electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves move throgh space?
Yes, but mechanical waves need matter to travel through. EM waves can travel through vacuums as well.
Is a sound wave mechanical or electromagnetic?
Seismic waves are mechanical waves.
Do molicules move faster in a solid or in a liquid?
In liquid molecules move faster but in solid the molecules would vibrate about its mean position
Do micro waves move faster than the radio waves?
Microwaves ARE radio waves, and they move with the same speed as all other electromagnetic waves.
Do light and sound both move in waves?
Yes, both light and sound can be described as waves. Light waves are electromagnetic waves, while sound waves are mechanical waves. They both propagate through a medium, although light can also travel through a vacuum.
