A compression wave is not matter, it is a transference of energy.

How does sound travel through a solid?
Sound, which is mechanical energy, travels through a solid by setting up a mechanical compression wave in that solid. When the compression wave of the sound in air strikes the solid, it compresses the solid. It isn't much, but the energy delivered by the air is transferred into the solid. Waves of compression and rarefaction move through the solid as they did in air, but move much faster in a solid.
What happens when a wave enters a solid liquid or gas?

How is the speed of a wave different based on whether it is traveling through a solid a liquid or a gas?
A wave will move faster through a liquid than a gas and even faster through a solid than a liquid. This is due to that the particles are closser together in a liquid than a gas and even closer in a solid than a liquid so the wave has a tighter medium to travel through or less of a "jump" between the atoms.
How many mediums can a sound wave pass through?
Solid, Liquid and Gas... These are the three things a sound wave can get trough... A sound-wave can get trough solid easily, because of all the particles, after that trough Liquid and at least trough Gas...
What happens to the speed of a wave as it travels from a liquid to a solid?
it slows down

Are beach wave sound gas liquid or solid?
liquid
Would a seismic wave travel faster through a solid or a liquid?
liquid
Will sound travel faster in solid liquid or gas?
Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.
Will a seismic wave go faster through a liquid or a solid?
Solid, because that kind of wave goes fastest through solids

Which seismic wave can go through both solid and liquid?
I don't know but maybe you can look it up on some science website
What makes a compression wave?
compression wave is a wave like a sound wave

What did you observe happened when a P wave traveled from a solid to a liquid?
nothin
