seismic wave travels faster through solid rock and slower through water, but i dont know why!
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.

Mechanical waves (like seismic waves) will travel faster through a solid than a liquid.
Faster.
liquid
Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.
Solid, because that kind of wave goes fastest through solids
Sound travels faster through air. Though sound travels farther through solid objects (vibrations), it is faster when traveling through air waves.
P-waves, also known as primary waves, travel faster in a solid compared to S-waves, secondary waves. P-waves are compressional waves that can travel through both solid and liquid layers, while S-waves are shear waves that can only propagate through solid materials.
It travels faster through a solid then air for some odd reason............
yes and it travels faster than liquid and gas
