Would a seismic wave travel faster through a solid or a liquid?

Will a seismic wave traveling through solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave traveling through liquid?

Mechanical waves (like seismic waves) will travel faster through a solid than a liquid.


Which seismic wave can go through both solid and liquid?

Primary waves (P-waves) are the seismic waves that can travel through both solid and liquid materials. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through the Earth's interior, passing through both solid and liquid layers.


Will seismic wave traveling through a solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave traveling through liquid why or why not?

why can s-wave can't travel but p-waves can


Which seismic body wave doesn't penetrate the Earth's core?

S-Wave. They are not able to travel through the liquid outer core.


Will a seismic wave traveling through a solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave traveling through liquid?

Seismic waves travels faster through solid rock than water because their speed depends on the density and composition of material that they pass through.Solid rock is denser than water, hence the energy from seismic waves transfer faster through solid rock than in water.


What is the seismic wave that travel's through the earths interior?

A body wave is a seismic wave that travels through Earths interior.


What type of earthquake wave could travel through a vacuum?

Since an earthquake or seismic wave is a pressure or force wave (like sound waves), it requires a material in which to propagate. So, no earthquake waves can travel through a vacuum.


Will a seismic wave travelling through a solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave travelling through liquid?

The velocity of seismic waves is controlled by the density and elastic properties of the material through which they travel. Solids tend to have larger elastic modulii than fluids. As the speed of a seismic wave increases as the elastic modulii increase, this means that they tend to travel faster through solids.


What does seismic?

(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
