What else can I help you with?
Which wave type can pass through the solid inner core?
Primary (P) waves can pass through the solid inner core of the Earth. P-waves are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solid, liquid, and gaseous materials.
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 seismic wave cannot travel through the core?
S-Waves, or shear waves cannot travel through the liquid outer core because liquids have no shear and therefore shear waves cannot propagate through them http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-wave
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
Which type of seismic wave can only pass through earths mantle?
There is no seismic wave that can only pass through the Earth's mantle. However S-waves can not travel through earth's outer core because it is a liquid.
Do p waves travel through earths mantle?
Yes, P-waves (primary waves) can travel through the Earth's mantle. P-waves are a type of seismic wave that is capable of propagating through solid, liquid, and gaseous materials. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through the mantle, which is the layer between the Earth's crust and core.
Which type of seismic waves travel through earth?
A Body Wave.
Which type of seismic wave can be detected on the opposite side of earth from an earthquake?
P-waves as they are able to travel through the liquid outer core of the earth, where as S-waves are not.
Which wave type can pass through the solid inner core?
Primary (P) waves can pass through the solid inner core of the Earth. P-waves are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solid, liquid, and gaseous materials.
What type of seismic wave can travel through the interior of the earth?
Body wave

What moves through the earth by causing particles to move at right angles to the waves direction?
S-waves which are a form of seismic wave. Seismic waves are a type of mechanical wave known as a shear or transverse wave that travel through the solid Earth (but not the liquid outer core).

What type of seismic wave can travel through both liquids and solids?
P-waves
What affects the speed of seismic waves?
The speed of seismic waves are affected by the type of material that the waves are traveling through. in other words (as an example): some type of waves can travel through rocks but not through liquids.
