energy reachs earth surface through seismic waves: P waves S waves and Surface waves
The sun moves through the electromagnetic waves. Conduction and Convection transfers energy between differences in density.
A specific type of mechanical wave known as a seismic wave.
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 consist ofP waves which travel through the Earth fast. They compress the medium they travel through;S waves which also travel through the Earth, shearing the solid Earth as they go. S waves do not travel through liquid;Surface waves which can cause the Earth to undulate like water waves or surface waves that cause the Earth to shear.
Sound waves
Energy from the sun reaches the Earth through electromagnetic radiation, primarily in the form of visible light. This light travels through the vacuum of space and reaches the Earth's atmosphere, where it is absorbed and converted into heat energy.
Earthquake generated waves are called seismic waves. These are waves of energy that travel through the Earth's layers. Their velocity depends on the elasticity and density of the medium that they travel through.
The energy transferred by waves moving through the ground is called seismic energy. Seismic waves are generated by events such as earthquakes or explosions, and they can travel through the Earth's interior and cause vibrations and shaking at the surface.
The sun gives its energy to the Earth through electromagnetic radiation, primarily in the form of sunlight. Gravity doesn't play a direct role in the transfer of energy from the sun to the Earth. Space may be a vacuum, but light and energy can still travel through it.

dookie and halitosis
Seismic waves are vibrations that travel through the Earth's layers, carrying the energy released during an earthquake. These waves can be classified into two main types: body waves that travel through the Earth's interior and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface. Seismometers are used to detect and record these waves.
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
RadiationHeat can't travel through a vacuum, directly, so the sun emits energy as light. The earth receives about a two billionth of the sunlight emitted, but the light is converted to heat and other energy forms.
as electromagnetic radiation
No, radiant energy, such as electromagnetic waves, can travel through a vacuum because it does not require a medium to propagate. This is why electromagnetic energy from the Sun can reach us here on Earth through the vacuum of space.
