What type of waves is produced during an earthquake?
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.
What kind of waves can't travel through the core of the Earth?
S-waves.
Seismic waves travel through?
The Surface Of The Earth (The Ground) and though the centre of the Earth. Hey are pressure waves like sound waves.
Does a surface wave go through the body of the earth or along the surface?
Surface waves (as the name suggests) travel along Earth's surface. Seismic waves that travel through earth's interior are known instead as body waves.
Do S waves travel through earth's inner core?
While S waves (shear waves) can travel through earth's solid inner core, they cannot travel through earth's liquid outer core, which surrounds the inner core.So, unless the S waves originated inside the inner core (which seems unlikely) there are no S waves traveling through earth's inner core.
Can secondary waves travel through the center of the earth?
No, because to reach the center of the Earth, they need to pass through the outer core. Secondary waves, or S-waves, can't pass through liquids, such as the liquid outer core, so they can't thus even reach the center of the Earth.
What are the waves that travel from the sun to earth?
Light waves travel from sun to the earth.

Which type of waves can travel through earth's outer cores?
Primary waves ( P-waves) can travel through earth's outer core.
What are the waves that travel the inside of the earth?
Body Waves
What are waves of energy that travel through earth?
Sound waves
What kind of waves travel through earth?
sound waves?
What are the waves that travel through the inside of earth?
Body Waves
The seismic waves that travel through earth interior are waves?
body waves
What are waves that travel at the surface of the earth?
The seismic waves that travel along Earth;'s surface are infact known as "surface waves" of which there are two main types - Love and Rayleigh waves.
What are two ways that P waves are different from S waves?
Body waves travel through the inside of earth's surface.Surface waves travel through the top part of earth's crust
Why can't s waves travel through earth?
S waves cannot travel through liquid. The Earth's core is liquid.
