Yes, some earthquakes travel through water. They could cause Tsunamis and other stuff.

What Earthquakes produce that travel though Earth?

Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes and travel through the Earth. These waves can be divided into two main types: body waves (P-waves and S-waves) that travel through the interior of the Earth, and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface.


Secondary waves can travel through?

Secondary waves can travel through solids and liquids, but not through gases. They are slower than primary waves and involve particle motion perpendicular to the wave's direction of propagation, causing shear or sideways movements in the medium. Secondary waves are also known as S-waves and are responsible for the shaking and ground motion experienced during earthquakes.


Can earthquakes travel through liquids and solids?

Earthquakes can only happen in solids. Earthquake waves are a different matter:p-waves can travel through both solids and liquidss-waves can only travel through solidssurface waves (e,g, Rayleigh waves, Love waves) can only travel on the surface of solidsetc.


What type of waves do earthquakes create?

Earthquakes create seismic waves, which are vibrations that travel through the Earth. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves, which travel through the interior of the Earth, and surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface. These waves are responsible for the shaking and damage associated with earthquakes.


What is it called when an underwater earthquakes can cause huge ocean waves?

It is called a tsunami. Tsunamis are generated by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides that displace large volumes of water, creating massive waves that can travel across oceans at high speeds.

pretty much everything except air. Look at earthquakes.
