They show that the outer core of the Earth is liquid while the inner core is solid.
Primary Waves(P-Waves)
no it's an earthquake.
Seismic waves are the earths crust vibrating. there are two types of waves P-waves and S-waves (Primary and Secondary) Primary waves travel faster than s waves and can travel through solid and liquid, S-waves can only travel through solids
A primary wave is a strong vibration or wave that hits earths surface (P) and a secondary wave (S) is a wave that hits soon after but not nearly as big.
They go faster through the inner core than the liquid outer core.
when the crust breacks apart it reveles objects beneth earths iner crust.
When a shift occurs in the Earth's crust, the energy can radiate as seismic waves. These waves travel through the Earth's interior and can be detected and measured by seismographs. Depending on the type of fault movement, the seismic waves produced can be either compressional (P-waves) or shear (S-waves).
Yes, P-waves (primary waves) can travel through the Earth's mantle. P-waves are a type of seismic wave that is capable of propagating through solid, liquid, and gaseous materials. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through the mantle, which is the layer between the Earth's crust and core.

When part of the Earth's crust breaks, seismic waves pass through the Earth. These waves include primary (P) waves, secondary (S) waves, and surface waves. P waves are the fastest and can travel through both solids and liquids, while S waves are slower and can only travel through solids. Surface waves cause the most damage during an earthquake.
L waves are formed when P&S waves reach the surface.
P waves can pass through the Earth's inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. They are the fastest seismic waves and are the first to be recorded on seismographs during an earthquake.
Body waves travel through the inside of earth's surface.Surface waves travel through the top part of earth's crust
Yes! P-waves are indeed compression or longitudinal waves which push the crust together and pull it apart as they travel. They are also able to travel through liquids and gasses, unlike S-waves (shear or transverse waves) which can only travel through solids.
