In air, the seismic waves(P-wave) are simply sound waves, and travel with the speed of sound (approx. 335 m/s).

Do seismographs record the air movements caused by seismic waves?

Seismographs do not record air movements caused by seismic waves. Seismographs specifically detect and record ground movements, such as vibrations or oscillations in the Earth's crust, produced by seismic waves generated by earthquakes or other sources. The air movements caused by seismic waves do not directly influence the seismograph readings.

What are energy waves moving through the air?

Energy waves moving through the air are typically referred to as sound waves. These waves are produced when an object vibrates and causes the air molecules to also vibrate, creating variations in air pressure that propagate through the air as sound.


Is seismic waves and earthquake waves the same?

What waves go through the earth's atmosphere?

Elastic waves, particularly sound waves and seismic waves, can travel through the Earth's atmosphere. Sound waves propagate through the air, while seismic waves are generated by earthquakes and travel through the Earth's crust and mantle.
