The Surface Of The Earth (The Ground) and though the centre of the Earth. Hey are pressure waves like sound waves.
Seismic, or earthquake waves travel through the earth. They may travel through our crust, which is rocky, or through the more fluid parts, like the mantle, but the medium is the earth.
Seismic waves
The speed of seismic waves are affected by the type of material that the waves are traveling through. in other words (as an example): some type of waves can travel through rocks but not through liquids.
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
These are known as seismic waves.
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
NO! Seismic waves can't travel through space. They are mechanical waves. Mechanical waves require going through mediums and there isn't a medium in space.
Primary seismic waves are longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses (although seismic waves are of to low a frequency to normally be heard). Secondary seismic waves are transverse waves and only travel through solids.
seismic waves
Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.

Seismic waves are the types of waves that can travel through the Earth and along its surface. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves (such as primary and secondary waves) that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves (such as Love and Rayleigh waves) that travel along the Earth's surface.
Primary (P) waves move the fastest among seismic waves. They are compressional waves that travel through the Earth's interior, and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes and travel through the Earth. These waves can be divided into two main types: body waves (P-waves and S-waves) that travel through the interior of the Earth, and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface.
Earthquakes transmit seismic waves, which are vibrations that travel through the Earth's crust and are responsible for the shaking felt during an earthquake. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves (P-waves and S-waves) that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface.
