Answer:interior structure of the earth that is inferred by velocity of wave propagation
Explanation:
The are many different seismic waves, but all of basically of four types:
Compressional or P (for primary)
Transverse or S (for secondary)
Love
Rayleigh
An earthquake radiates P and S waves in all directions and the interaction of the P and S waves with Earth's surface and shallow structure produces surface waves.
as thse waves are passing throght the earth because the earth is a solid and solid particles have aproperty that they transmit waves faster compared to liquid and gas as due to the reason that the intermolecular force of attraction between particles in solid is high compared to liquid and gas and the intermolecular distance between particle is very very less.
