What does sound not travel through?

Sound can travel through any medium. If you remove the medium you would end up with a vacuum. It is in vacuums that sound cannot travel as it needs a medium to travel (it travels as a compression wave or shear wave).Space is almost a perfect vacuum so sound is unable to travel through space.Source:What_is_it_that_cannot_sound_travel_through


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. =)


How does liquid travel through your body?

Liquid travels through your body through a network of blood vessels called the circulatory system. When you drink liquids, they are absorbed in your digestive system and then transported through your bloodstream to different parts of your body where they are needed.


Can a piece of glass travel through the body without causing harm?

No, a piece of glass cannot travel through the body without causing harm. Glass is sharp and can cause internal injuries if it enters the body.


What are the characteristics of body waves?

Body waves are seismic waves that travel through the Earth's interior. They include Primary (P-waves), which are compressional waves that travel through solids, liquids, and gases, and Secondary (S-waves), which are shear waves that only travel through solids. Body waves are responsible for the initial shaking felt during an earthquake.


What substances can body waves move through?

Body waves can move through solids, liquids, and gases. Primary (P) waves can travel through all three mediums, while secondary (S) waves can only travel through solids. Love and Rayleigh waves are surface waves that travel along the boundary of solids, such as the Earth's crust.


Which body part sends liquids through uretes to the bladder?

The kidneys send liquids through the ureters to the bladder.


How do you hear yourself in space without a space suit?

Sound cannot travel in empty space. But, sound may be able to travel through your body.


There are two types of body waves that travel out from the epicenter of an earthquake They have unique characteristics Choose each of the characteristics that describes an S-wave?

S-waves are secondary waves that travel slower than P-waves and have a shearing motion perpendicular to their direction of propagation. They cannot travel through liquids and are responsible for causing the most damage during an earthquake.


What is the sub types of body waves?

The two subtypes of body waves are P waves (primary or compressional waves) and S waves (secondary or shear waves). P waves are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, while S waves are slower and can only travel through solids.


Which wave is a body wave?

A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface. P and S waves are body waves. Each type of wave shakes the ground in different ways.


What does a medium seismic wave travel through?

Seismic waves are vibrations generated by an earthquake. They travel along the surface of the Earth and through the earth. They are a type of wave known as a mechanical wave and as such (unlike electromagnetic waves) require a medium through which to travel. Seismic waves can be split into body and surface waves. The body waves can be split into two main types, the P-wave or primary wave which is a compression or longitudinal wave which can travel through solids, liquids and gasses and the S-wave which is a transverse or shear wave and can only travel through solids.
