Bedrocks are the general medium for a seismic wave, the conductivity depends on temp, density, element, and tensition. Generally its faster the densier, heavier, more tense and what element it is.

Through what do seismic waves travel fastest?

seismic wave travels faster through solid rock and slower through water, but i dont know why!


What Type of seismic wave that travels the fastest through rock material by causing rocks to vibrate in the same direction as the waves?

Primary (P) waves are the fastest seismic waves that travel through rock material by causing rocks to vibrate in the same direction as the waves. P waves are able to travel through solids, liquids, and gases.


What seismic waves move the fastest?

Primary (P) waves move the fastest among seismic waves. They are compressional waves that travel through the Earth's interior, and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.


Do p waves travel through gases?

Yes, P-waves (primary waves) can travel through gases, liquids, and solids. They are seismic waves that are the fastest and can propagate through any material, including the Earth's atmosphere.


What is the fastest seismic wave that moves back and forth?

The fastest seismic wave that moves back and forth is the P-wave, or primary wave. P-waves are compressional waves that travel through solids, liquids, and gases and are the first to be detected during an earthquake. They move by causing particles in the material they travel through to vibrate in the same direction as the wave's propagation.


Which seismic waves travel the fastest?

Primary waves (P-waves) are the fastest seismic waves and are the first to be detected after an earthquake. They are able to travel through solid rock, liquid, and gas, making them the fastest seismic waves.


Is Primary wave the fastest wave?

i think so.. :/ Travel fastest through rock material causing rock particles in the rock to move back or forth


Can a p wave travel through gas?

Yes, a P-wave can travel through gas. P-waves are seismic waves that are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They compress and expand the material they travel through, which allows them to propagate through gases as well.


Which type of seismic wave travels the fastest and through all layers of the Earth?

Primary waves (P-waves) are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through all layers of the Earth, including the solid inner core. They are compressional waves that travel by compressing and expanding the material they pass through.


The fastest waves from an earthquake also called push waves are what?

The fastest waves from an earthquake, also known as push waves, are called primary waves or P-waves. These seismic waves are the first to arrive at a seismograph station and they travel through solid rock and fluid at high speeds by compressing and expanding the material they pass through.


What medium do waves travel fastest in?

Waves travel fastest in solids, such as metals and dense materials, because particles in solids are closer together and can transmit energy quickly through vibrations. This is why seismic waves generated by earthquakes travel fastest through the Earth's solid layers.


Which earthquake waves are the fastest?

Primary (P) waves are the fastest seismic waves and are the first to be recorded by seismographs. They are compressional waves that travel through the Earth's interior.
