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. =)

∙ 11y agoWell technically any earthquake would have to be able to go through solids or liquids. An earthquake works in such a way that tectonic plates from the ground rub against each other and stick. When the tension is released then motion waves are sent out over a large area.

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.
What type of seismic wave can pass through the Earth's mantle and core?
There are two types of waves ; P waves and S waves . P waves can travel through solids , liquids , and gases . S waves can only travel through solids . The mantle is pure solid rock ; the outer core is made of liquid-iron and nickel . In other words , only P waves can travel through both the mantle and the core . Hope this helps ! Give thanks to 7th grade Earth science ! :D
What type of earthquake waves can not pass through the earths inner core?
Most of them, as the Earth's inner core is equivalent to that of the sun.
What is the amount of ground displacement in an earthquake?
It depends on the intensity of the earthquake and the type of slippage that caused it.
What type of wave is not characteristic as an earthquake?
It is about 30
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.
What type of seismic wave can travel through both liquids and solids?
P-waves
What type of energy travels as vibrations through solids liquids and gases?
kinetic energy
Waves can travel in?
This depends on the type of wave. Some examples are.Electromagnetic wave, Through almost anything.Sound waves, through matter.Compression waves through solids, liquids and gases.Transverse waves through solids only.
What type of waves can travel thorough solids and liquids?
Compression waves.
What type of solids that can not be separated?
Chemically or physically. Chemically, elements can not be broken down. Chemically, a mixture of solids can be seperated in most cases through solubility, precipitation, and by using chemicals.
What type of compounds can exist as liquids solids or gases?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity as liquids and in solution.
What types of orifice plates is designed to measure the flow of liquids containing solids?
Eccentric or segmental type is used in such a way that its lower edge coincides with the inside bottom of the pipe. This allows the solids to flow through without any obstruction.
About speed of sounds in different media?
the speed of sound depends on the material through which it's passing. it is greater in solids than in liquids or gases because the molecules in a solid are closer togather than in a liquid or gas.Material Speed m/sAir(0°C) 330Water 1400Concrete 5000Steel 6000"compression-type" sound will travel faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases, because the solids are more difficult to compress than liquids, while liquids in turn are more difficult to compress than gases.
Are clouds made up of liquids or solids?
Type your answer here... clouds are made of liquid(water vapour).
What does a medium seismic wave travel through?
Seismic waves are vibrations generated by an earthquake. They travel along the surface of the Earth and through the earth. They are a type of wave known as a mechanical wave and as such (unlike electromagnetic waves) require a medium through which to travel. Seismic waves can be split into body and surface waves. The body waves can be split into two main types, the P-wave or primary wave which is a compression or longitudinal wave which can travel through solids, liquids and gasses and the S-wave which is a transverse or shear wave and can only travel through solids.
What type of earthquake wave moves through only crust and mantle?
The type of earthquake wave that moves only through the crust and mantle is called the S-wave (secondary wave). S-waves are slower than P-waves, cannot propagate through liquids like the outer core, and cause side-to-side shaking motion.
