P-waves can pass through liquids,solids,and gases. A P-wave is a type of body wave that has an up and down motion. Another type of body wave is the S-wave. S-waves CAN'T pass through liquids but they can pass through solids and gases. I hope that answered your question. =)

Which type of earthquake wave is always the first to be detecated?

P-waves (primary waves) are always the first type of earthquake wave to be detected. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through both solids and liquids.


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 energy travels as vibrations through solids liquids and gases?

Mechanical energy travels as vibrations through solids, liquids, and gases. This can take the form of sound waves moving through a medium.


Does radiation travel through solids liquids or gases?

Radiation can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. The extent to which radiation penetrates these materials depends on factors such as the type of radiation, the energy level, and the density of the material.


What type of earth quake wave can travel through both liquids and solids?

p-waves, they travel parallel to the earthquake and are the only waves that go through the outer core, which is supposedly consisting of liquid nickel and iron.


Which type of siesmic waves can travel throgh solids but not liquid?

Shear waves can travel through solids, but they cannot travel through liquids. Shear waves are a type of seismic wave that shakes particles perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This makes them unable to propagate through liquids, which do not have the necessary shear strength to transmit these waves.


What is the fastest type of seismic wave?

The fastest type of seismic wave is the primary wave, or P-wave. P-waves are compressional waves that travel through solids, liquids, and gases, and they are the first waves to arrive at a seismograph during an earthquake.


What type of waves travel through liquids fastest?

there is no specific wave they all travel faster through water but scientifically speaking sesmic waves do i belive also The speed of sound depends on the medium in which it is transported. The speed of sound is slow in gases, like in air. The speed of sound is faster in liquids, like in water. The speed of sound is fastest in solids, like in metal.


What type of waves can travel thorough solids and liquids?

Compression waves.


What seismic wave can go through liquid?

Surface waves, specifically Love waves, can travel through liquids. Love waves are a type of surface wave that occurs on the surface of solids, liquids, and gases.
