The seismic waves that travel through Earths interior are waves.?
body waves
What earthquakes travel through the earth's mantle?
Primary waves and secondary waves (body waves). Love waves and rayleigh waves (surface waves) do not travel through the earth's mantle. Though secondary waves do not go through liquids, the asthenosphere is only a semi-liquid, so secondary waves can still go through it.
What travel through earths interior?
Seismic waves, generated by earthquakes or artificial sources, travel through the Earth's interior. There are two main types of seismic waves: primary waves (P-waves), which are compressional and can travel through solids and liquids, and secondary waves (S-waves), which are shear waves that can only move through solids. These waves provide valuable information about the Earth's internal structure, helping scientists study its composition and behavior. Their speed and path change depending on the materials they encounter, revealing details about different layers such as the crust, mantle, and core.
What layer of Earth do Secondary waves NOT travel through?
Secondary waves, also known as S-waves, do not travel through the outer core of the Earth due to its liquid state. S-waves can only propagate through solid materials.
What can happen to p and s waves when they reach the boundary between the crust and the mantle?
When P-waves (primary waves) and S-waves (secondary waves) reach the boundary between the crust and the mantle, they experience changes in behavior due to the differences in material properties. P-waves, which are compressional waves, can travel through both solid and liquid, so they continue to propagate into the mantle with a change in speed. In contrast, S-waves, which are shear waves, cannot travel through liquids, so they are reflected at the boundary and do not penetrate into the mantle. This difference in behavior helps seismologists understand the Earth's internal structure.
Can S waves travel through the earths mantle?
Yes, S-waves can travel through the Earth's mantle. They are secondary seismic waves that propagate by shearing the material they pass through, making them able to travel through solid materials like the mantle. However, their velocity and amplitude might change as they move through the different layers of the Earth.
What do earthquake waves travel through?
earthquake waves travel through the earths crust.
How can scientists infer the consistency of the earths mantle?
They can do this by how and how quickly seismic waves can move through the mantle.

Which type of seismic wave can only pass through earths mantle?
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.
Can p waves travel through the mantle?
Yes. Compressional waves (P-waves) can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They can propagate through every layer of earth's interior. In contrast, shear waves (S-waves) can pass through solids but not liquids or gases. As they propagate toward the center of the earth they pass through the crust, refract through the crust-mantle interface, pass through the mantle, but cannot pass through the mantel-outer core interface because the outer core is liquid.
What kind of waves can travel through earth and along earths surface?
Seismic waves are the types of waves that can travel through the Earth and along its surface. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves (such as primary and secondary waves) that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves (such as Love and Rayleigh waves) that travel along the Earth's surface.
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 ! Give thanks to 7th grade Earth science ! :D
What layer of earth will waves travel through faster?
The mantle of course.....because sound waves travel through liquid like surfaces better than solid rock.
What can p waves travel through?
S waves usually travel through most things and are felt as the massive shocks after an earthquake. At times the radiation caused by these s waves may cause green pigmentation in your skin. Therefore, s waves are able to travel through skin. On one occasion, s waves were observed to have travelled through dirt, and the endoplasmic reticulum of the element water. In response to your question, s waves seem to generally be able to travel on earth. But due to the gravitational inertia of the Earth's spin, s-waves can travel in symmetric circular paths meaning that dipoles of the magnetic field on Earth will cancel and results in a non-polar s wave.
