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.

What are three words that describe earths mantle?
It's only soft and plastic in that it is not as hard as the brittle rock of the crust and uppermost mantle.
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 !

True or false the crust and mantle are solids the inner crust is thoght to be solid?
true or false? the crust is the earths only solid layer or part
What is the order of earths layers from most dense to less dense?
The outer core, inner core, mantle, crust, water, atmosphere. This is the order from densest to least dense.
Why has no person ever gone deeper than six miles into the earth?
because it gets hotter as you go in to the earths surface. the six miles is only the crust because the mantle is to hot to in to.

What makes up the earths lithosphere?
im pretty sure it earths crust and core or if not the top part of the mantle and the crust above it this is the only infomation i could get sorry

In what direction do seismic waves carry the energy of an earthquake?
Seismic waves are the earths crust vibrating. there are two types of waves P-waves and S-waves (Primary and Secondary) Primary waves travel faster than s waves and can travel through solid and liquid, S-waves can only travel through solids
What type of wave travels only through solids?
S-waves travel only through solids.
Which forms of matter can primary and secondary seismic waves travel through?
Primary seismic waves are longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses (although seismic waves are of to low a frequency to normally be heard). Secondary seismic waves are transverse waves and only travel through solids.
What is the layer between the core and mantle?
After the mantle, the next and last layer of the earths internal structure is the core, but the only sort of barrier that exists is a kind of transistion zone that serves as a linkage between the two layers.
What makes lithosphere?
im pretty sure it earths crust and core or if not the top part of the mantle and the crust above it this is the only infomation i could get sorry
Which type of seismic wave can travel through the interior of the?
If you mean Earth's interior, only longitudinal waves can pass through the liquid parts.
True or false the crust and mantle are solids the inner crust is thoght to be solid?
true or false? the crust is the earths only solid layer or part
What are Earthquake Waves That Vibrate From Side To Side And Up And Down Only Through Solids Are Known As?
seismic waves actually the correct answer is S waves. trust me if you put seismic waves it will be wrong
How does Charizard learn seismictoss in Pokemon FireRed?
Charizard does not learn Seismic Toss in FireRed through leveling OR by using a TM. The only way Charizard can learn Seismic Toss is through tutoring. The tutor (a non-playing character in the game) which will teach a Pokemon Seismic Toss is located in Pewter City. Remember that a tutor is only able to teach the move once, so make sure you truly want your Charizard to learn Seismic Toss.
