a seismic wave traveling through a solid will go faster than traveling through a liquid (that is the real answer)

∙ 12y agoThe velocity of seismic waves is controlled by the density and elastic properties of the material through which they travel. Solids tend to have larger elastic modulii than fluids. As the speed of a seismic wave increases as the elastic modulii increase, this means that they tend to travel faster through solids.

How does earths inner core affect seismic waves?
They go faster through the inner core than the liquid outer core
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
Does sound move faster through a liquid than through a solid?
Generally, sound moves faster through a solid than through a liquid. This is because the molecules of a solid are more condensed than those of a liquid. However, sound does not move faster through all solids than through all liquids.1
Which type of seismic wave can travel through the interior of the?
If you mean Earth's interior, only longitudinal waves can pass through the liquid parts.
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.
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
Would a seismic wave travel faster through a solid or a liquid?
liquid
Will a seismic wave go faster through a liquid or a solid?
Solid, because that kind of wave goes fastest through solids

p waves
How is the speed of a wave different based on whether it is traveling through a solid a liquid or a gas?
A wave will move faster through a liquid than a gas and even faster through a solid than a liquid. This is due to that the particles are closser together in a liquid than a gas and even closer in a solid than a liquid so the wave has a tighter medium to travel through or less of a "jump" between the atoms.
