Which type of earthquakes waves move the slowest?

The surface waves (composed in turn of the Rayleigh and Love waves) are the slowest seismic waves.


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


What type of earthquake wave travels faster?

P-waves(primary waves) travel faster than S-waves(secondary waves)


Will a seismic wave go faster through a liquid or a solid?

Solid, because that kind of wave goes fastest through solids


What does seismic mean?

(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.

What type of material would a seismic wave travel through the fastest?

Bedrocks are the general medium for a seismic wave, the conductivity depends on temp, density, element, and tensition. Generally its faster the densier, heavier, more tense and what element it is.Brinaq:slate :)
