Question

which seismic waves can travel through liquid medium

Answer 1

These waves are of a higher frequency than surface waves. The first kind of body wave is the P wave or primarywave. This is the fastest kind ofseismic wave, and, consequently, thefirst to 'arrive' at a seismic station. TheP wave can move through solid rock and fluids, like water or the liquidlayers of the earth.

Answer 2

P waves can travel through a liquid medium.

Seismic waves:

• When materials suddenly move within the Earth, such as when they slip along a fault during an earthquake, seismic waves are produced.
• Seismic waves can also be produced by volcanic eruptions, explosions, landslides, avalanches, and even swiftly flowing rivers.
• P-waves, S-waves, and surface waves are the three primary categories of seismic waves.
• Body waves are the collective term for P- and S-waves.

Types of seismic waves:

• Body waves and surface waves are the two main categories of seismic waves.
• Within the body of the Earth, body waves move.
• P, or main waves, and S, or secondary waves, are among them.
• The ground contracts and expands as a result of P waves, shifting back and forth in the direction of motion.

P waves:

• One of the two primary categories of elastic body waves, or seismic waves in seismology, is the P wave.
• P waves are the first signal from an earthquake to reach any impacted place or a seismograph since they move quicker than other seismic waves.
• P waves can pass through solids, liquids, or gases.
