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


How does earths solid inner core affect seismic waves?

They go faster through the inner core than the liquid outer core.


In what direction do seismic waves carry the energy of 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


What wave reaches the recording station after an earthquake?

The first wave to reach a recording station after an earthquake is the Primary wave, or P-wave. P-waves are compressional waves that travel faster than other seismic waves, moving through both solid and liquid layers of the Earth. They are followed by Secondary waves (S-waves) and surface waves, which arrive later and can cause more damage.


Why have scientists reasoned that earth's outer core is liquid?

in different parts of Earth's interrior, there are solid and liquid layers. Why is this? scientists believe that as you travel further through Earth's core, the temperature increases as well as pressure. The mantle, the closest layer to the crust, is solid due to its temperature. However, the outer core is made up of liquid because of its temperature as well, but the inner core isn't. It may be the hottest part of Earth, but it's under so much pressure that it remains a solid state.

Will a seismic wave traveling through solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave traveling through liquid?

Mechanical waves (like seismic waves) will travel faster through a solid than a liquid.


Will a seismic wave traveling through a solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave traveling through liquid?

Seismic waves travels faster through solid rock than water because their speed depends on the density and composition of material that they pass through.Solid rock is denser than water, hence the energy from seismic waves transfer faster through solid rock than in water.

liquid


Which seismic wave can go through both solid and liquid?

Primary waves (P-waves) are the seismic waves that can travel through both solid and liquid materials. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through the Earth's interior, passing through both solid and liquid layers.


Will a seismic wave travelling through a solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave travelling through liquid?

The velocity of seismic waves is controlled by the density and elastic properties of the material through which they travel. Solids tend to have larger elastic modulii than fluids. As the speed of a seismic wave increases as the elastic modulii increase, this means that they tend to travel faster through solids.


Does light travel faster through liquid or solid?

Light travels faster through liquid than through solid. The speed of light in a medium is determined by the refractive index of the material, which is lower in liquid compared to solid materials.
