A seismogram shows that p waves travel?
The seismogram shows that P waves travel faster than S waves, as they are the first waves to arrive at the seismograph station after an earthquake occurs. P waves are compressional waves that can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, whereas S waves are shear waves that can only travel through solids.
What type of earthquake wave can go through solids and liquids?
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. =)
Can earthquakes travel through liquids and solids?
Earthquakes can only happen in solids. Earthquake waves are a different matter:p-waves can travel through both solids and liquidss-waves can only travel through solidssurface waves (e,g, Rayleigh waves, Love waves) can only travel on the surface of solidsetc.
Why are gases more compressible than liquids or solids?
Gases are the only ones that are compressible in fact. They are compressible because the atoms in gases are very far apart, and when you compress them, their atoms can fill up these spaces.
What are the vibrational tremors sent out from an earthquake?
Vibrational tremors sent out from an earthquake are called seismic waves. There are three main types: P waves (primary waves) are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. S waves (secondary waves) are slower and only travel through solids. Surface waves are slower but cause the most damage as they travel along the Earth's surface.
How hard are gases?
"Hardness" is only defined for solids - not for liquids or gases.
Why do the gas laws apply only to gases Why don and rsquot they apply to solids or liquids?
Gas laws are derived from the kinetic theory of gases, which assumes that gas particles are in constant motion and have negligible volume. Solids and liquids have stronger intermolecular forces that keep their particles closer together, preventing the same level of random motion seen in gases. Therefore, the assumptions underlying the gas laws do not hold true for solids and liquids.
What are facts about liquids solids and gases?
Five facts: 1. When liquids cool down, they become solids. 2. When gases cool down, they become liquids. 3. When solids heat up, they become liquids. 4. When liquids heat up, they become gases. 5. Some liquids will only freeze in temperatures that can never be recreated by humans.
Has no definite shape solid liquid or gas?
Only solids have a definite shape. Neither liquids nor gases have a definite shape.Only solids have a definite shape.

Why do you deal electronics only with solids not with liquids and gases?
because liquids and gasses don't conduct electricity
What are some examples of how gases are different from liquids and solids?
I can only tell you that gases are does not have a difinite shape and volume . E.g air / nitrogen / carbon dioxide / water vapour / . . .
Why can only solids vibrate but liquid and gases can't?
Liquids and gases can vibrate. In fact sound is the vibration of air molecules.
Are liquids and gases not materials?
Solids, liquids, and gases are all forms of materials. Only solids are used as building materials (although even then, one could argue, cement is poured in liquid form before it solidifies).
Does conduction only occur between solids?
No, conduction can occur in solids, liquids, and gases. In solids, conduction happens through direct contact between particles. In liquids and gases, it occurs through the transfer of heat energy by the movement of particles.
Does sound go through solids quicker than liquids or gases?
Yes, sound travels faster through solids compared to liquids and gases because the molecules in solids are closer together, allowing sound waves to propagate more easily. In liquids and gases, the molecules are more spread out, which leads to a slower transmission of sound.
Can solids liquids and gases all can act as mediums for waves?
Yes, solids, liquids, and gases can all act as mediums for waves. The speed at which waves propagate through these mediums depends on their properties, such as density and elasticity. Solids typically transmit waves faster than liquids, which in turn transmit waves faster than gases.
Why solids have any number of free surfaces while liquids have only one upper free surfaces?
It is a characteristic of liquids and gases to assume the shapes of their containers while solids maintain their own shapes.
