Why do P waves travel faster through the lithosphere than through the asthenosphere?
because the P waves move faster through more rigid substances than through non rigid material>
Does sound travel faster through space or room temperature?
Nope, sounds doesn't travel faster on space because a medium is needed a region to another
Does water travel faster through sand soil or gravel?
Water will travel faster in gravel than sandStudents in secondary school should know this!
Why do seismic waves travel faster through solid rock than through water?
Water has a higher density than rock. -Gordon Crocker
What happens to P- and S- waves when they reach the center of the earth?
P waves travel much faster than S waves so they reach the core faster. They can travel through the outer core, but change direction slightly, causing a p-waves shadow zone. S waves cannot travel through the outer core because it is liquid and has zero rigidity so they are diverted around it causing a much larger shadow zone called the S wave shadow zone. Surface, or L waves cannot travel through the earth at all. P-waves are observed directly opposite to the epicentre of earthquake which states that the wave passing through the earth as a diameter has no effect on its path.

Do sound waves travel faster threw liquid or solid?
They travel faster through solids
What specific solid does sound travel through the fastest?
The denser the faster. ie: it will travel faster through quartz than sandstone.
Does sound travel faster through a solid or water?
sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles
Does sound travel faster through steel or cloth?
sound travels faster through steel
Waves are known to travel faster through solids than they do through gases?
faster apex.....................................................................................................................
Where do sound travel faster?
Through metals
Why does light travel faster through empty space than matter?
It doesn't travel faster through a vacuum. In our Universe there is no such thing as empty space.
Waves travel quicker through solid gases?
Waves travel faster through denser materials. However, Electromagnetic waves travel faster through less dense materials. It travels fastest in vacuum.
Does sound or light travel faster through water?
Light travels much faster than sound, through wood.
Does light travel faster through air water vacuum or glass?
it travels faster through air.
The change in velocity of s waves at the top of the asthenosphere suggests that it is?
S waves can only travel though solids. Since they have difficulty traveling through the asthenosphere, we conclude the athenosphere is at least partially fluid.
