Question

waves are generated when a source of energy forces matter in a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to vibrate. How does the study of the Earth's layers relate to the study of waves

Answer 1

Explanation:

A wave is a repeating disturbance or vibration that transfers or moves energy from place to place.

Waves are created when a source of energy (force) causes a vibration.

A vibration is a repeated back-and-forth or up-and-down motion.

Waves carry energy through empty space or through a medium without transporting matter.

While all waves can transmit energy through a medium, certain waves can also transmit energy through empty space.

A medium is a material through which waves can travel. It can be a solid, liquid, or gas.

When waves travel through a medium, the particles of the medium are not carried along with the wave.

When there is no medium, certain waves (electromagnetic) can travel through empty space
