Which type of seismic wave can travel through the interior of the?

If you mean Earth's interior, only longitudinal waves can pass through the liquid parts.


What have scientists observed in order to learn about earth's interior?

The Earth's size and overall density The Earths Geological features The Earths magnetic field The variations in observed gravity and magnetic fields as compared to the a theoretical model of what these should be. The variations in speed of and type of seismic waves as they propagate through the earth after a man made explosion or earthquake. Meteoric material that has fallen to earth.


Is a P-wave a body wave?

Yes. In a seismic context, P and S waves are body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves are surface waves.


What type is a BODY WAVE?

A body wave is a type of seismic wave that travels through the interior of the Earth. There are two main types of body waves: primary (P) waves, which are compressional waves that move faster and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, and secondary (S) waves, which are shear waves that only travel through solids. Body waves are essential for understanding the Earth's internal structure and are used in seismology to locate and analyze earthquakes.


Do p waves travel through earths mantle?

Yes, P-waves (primary waves) can travel through the Earth's mantle. P-waves are a type of seismic wave that is capable of propagating through solid, liquid, and gaseous materials. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through the mantle, which is the layer between the Earth's crust and core.

Do Secondary waves travel through the earths surface?

No, secondary waves (S-waves) cannot travel through the Earth's surface. They are a type of seismic wave that move through the Earth's interior and cannot propagate in liquids or gases, making them unable to travel through the surface.

What medium in the wave traveling through?

The medium through which a wave travels depends on the type of wave. For example, sound waves travel through air, water waves travel through water, and seismic waves travel through the Earth's interior. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through a vacuum, like space.
