What is a type of wave that travels through earth's interior?
A seismic wave is a type of wave that travels through Earth's interior. These waves are generated by earthquakes or other disturbances and can be classified into two main types: body waves which travel through the Earth's interior and surface waves that travel along its surface.
What type of seismic wave arrives after an earthquake?
A seismic wave travels through the Earth's layers, after a volcano, explosion, or earthquake. Transverse, compressional, longitude, and shear waves are all types of seismic waves after earthquakes.
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.
Which type of seismic wave cannot pass through air and liquid?
The type of seismic wave that cannot pass through air and liquid is the S-wave, or secondary wave. S-waves are shear waves that require a medium with rigidity to propagate, which means they can only travel through solids. Unlike P-waves (primary waves), which are compressional waves and can move through both solids and fluids, S-waves are unable to transmit through liquids or gases.
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 makes a seismic wave happen?
Seismic waves are generated when there is a sudden release of energy from within the Earth's crust, such as an earthquake or explosion. This energy travels through the Earth as waves, causing the ground to shake. The type of seismic wave produced depends on the type of energy release and the properties of the Earth's layers it travels through.
What type of wave travels only through solids?
S-waves travel only through solids.
What type of seismic wave travels through earth?
The P-wave is a compression / longitudinal wave and so unlike the S-wave is able to travel through the liquid outer core.

What Type of seismic wave that travels the fastest through rock material by causing rocks to vibrate in the same directions as the waves?
secondary waves
Which type of wave travels by pushing and pulling on the matter it travels through?
Mechanical waves travel by pushing and pulling on the matter they travel through. Sound waves and seismic waves are examples of mechanical waves.
Type of seismic wave that travels the fastest through rock material by causing rocks to vibrate in the same direction as the waves?
Primary waves (P-waves) are the type of seismic wave that travels the fastest through rock material. These waves are able to cause rocks to vibrate in the same direction as the waves, resulting in a back-and-forth motion.
Which type of seismic wave travels on top of Earths surface?
A Surface Wave.
Which type of seismic wave travels the fastest and through all layers of the Earth?
Primary waves (P-waves) are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through all layers of the Earth, including the solid inner core. They are compressional waves that travel by compressing and expanding the material they pass through.
What type of rock travels in liquid form?
Limestone dissolves in water and travels.
