If an object left Earth which direction will it travel due to inertia and Earths rotation?

That depends, in what direction it is moving initially, and at what speed. Inertia is the tendency to MAINTAIN a velocity.


What direction do almost all of the planets travel as they go around the sun?

All the planets revolve around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction, as seen from above the Earth's north pole.


Which Seismic wave squeezes and pulls rocks in the same direction occurs deep inside the earth?

The seismic wave that squeezes and pulls rocks in the same direction is called a P-wave, or primary wave. P-waves are longitudinal waves that travel through the Earth, moving particles in the same direction as the wave itself. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through both solid and liquid materials, making them crucial for understanding the Earth's interior.


If you are traveling in a westerly direction are you going faster or slower then the rotatation of the earth?

The way your question is phrased is ambivalent. But I think you're asking is your apparent speed over the ground greater if you're travelling west than if you're travelling east. The answer is yes, because you're going aganst the rotation of the earth. In fact some artificial satellites are designed to travel around the earth at the same rate and direction as it rotates and are known as geo-stationary satellites because they appear not to move.


In which direction do seismic waves travel from their point of origin?

Seismic waves travel outward in all directions from their point of origin, which is the focus of an earthquake. The waves propagate through the Earth's interior in various patterns and speeds, with different types of waves exhibiting different behaviors.

Do light travel to a single direction only?

The light from our sun radiates out in all direction as the sun is ball-shaped. The part of light that strikes the earth, forming daylight, is spread over a wide area of the earth that happens to be facing towards the sun at the time. This means that light doesn't travel in a single direction. A laser beam is an example of a concentrated beam of light travelling in a single direction.
