    Seismic Waves

    Uploaded by

    There are two main types of seismic waves - body waves and surface waves. Body waves consist of P-waves and S-waves, while surface waves are Love waves and Rayleigh waves. Scientists were able to use how different seismic waves traveled through the Earth to determine its internal structure, concluding that the crust and mantle are solid while the outer core is liquid based on S-waves' inability to travel through liquids.
