The Earth's interior is divided into two main sections due to seismic waves: the outer core and the inner core. Seismic waves behave differently when they pass through these layers; primary (P) waves can travel through both solid and liquid, while secondary (S) waves cannot pass through liquids. This behavior helps scientists determine the composition and state of the Earth's inner layers. The distinction between the solid inner core and the liquid outer core is a crucial aspect of geophysical studies.
What else can I help you with?
What name do we give to the sections of the earth where no seismic waves can travel?
It's the focus
Which type of seismic waves arrives at distant points before any other seismic waves?
Primary waves are seismic waves and the arrive first after an earthquake occurs.
Type of wave generated by an earthquake?
Seismic waves are the type of waves generated by an earthquake. These waves travel through the Earth and are responsible for the shaking and ground motion associated with earthquakes. There are different types of seismic waves, including P-waves, S-waves, and surface waves.
Which forms of matter can primary and secondary seismic waves travel through?
Primary seismic waves are longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses (although seismic waves are of to low a frequency to normally be heard). Secondary seismic waves are transverse waves and only travel through solids.
Can Seismic waves travel through space?
NO! Seismic waves can't travel through space. They are mechanical waves. Mechanical waves require going through mediums and there isn't a medium in space.

What is source of earthquake waves?
because of the Seismic waves ^^ -RYAN BALICTAR
How do seismic waves affect us?
Seismic waves affect us because they are what causes the motion from an earthquake that destroy buildings and such. The three types of seismic waves are surface waves primary waves also called P-waves and secondary waves also called S-waves.
Which type of seismic waves arrives at distant points before any other seismic waves?
Primary waves are seismic waves and the arrive first after an earthquake occurs.
Is seismic waves and earthquake waves the same?
Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.
Type of wave generated by an earthquake?
Seismic waves are the type of waves generated by an earthquake. These waves travel through the Earth and are responsible for the shaking and ground motion associated with earthquakes. There are different types of seismic waves, including P-waves, S-waves, and surface waves.
What does seismic?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
What is another name for earthquake waves?
Seismic waves.
Seismic waves that shear rock side to side are called?
seismic waves actually the correct answer is S waves. trust me if you put seismic waves it will be wrong
What is the source of earthquake waves?
because of the Seismic waves ^^ -RYAN BALICTAR
Kind of wave released during an wave?
During an earthquake, seismic waves are released. These waves travel through the Earth and can be detected by seismographs. The main types of seismic waves are P-waves (primary waves), S-waves (secondary waves), and surface waves.
Which forms of matter can primary and secondary seismic waves travel through?
Primary seismic waves are longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses (although seismic waves are of to low a frequency to normally be heard). Secondary seismic waves are transverse waves and only travel through solids.
