Which of the answers is true about seismic waves?


A. Seismic waves travel through the Earth while carrying energy.

B. The seismic waves speed and path are depended on the material of which the waves go through.*******

C. Seismic waves are able to travel completely throughout the Earth's interior.

D. Seismic waves are only related to, and caused by earthquakes.

If you mean "dependent" instead of "depended," then I agree with you.

Yes, that's what I meant thanks!

I agree with B, but also suspect that A is true.

Am I right?

The true answer about seismic waves is B: The seismic waves speed and path are dependent on the material through which the waves travel.

To determine the answer, you can use your knowledge of how seismic waves work.

Seismic waves are energy waves that are generated by the sudden release of energy, typically from an earthquake or an explosion. These waves travel through the Earth, and their speed and path are indeed influenced by the materials they encounter.

Different materials have different densities and elastic properties, which affect how seismic waves propagate through them. For example, seismic waves travel faster through more solid and rigid materials like rock, while they travel slower through less rigid materials like water or soft sediments. The path of seismic waves can be refracted, reflected, or diffracted as they encounter different materials with varying properties.

Therefore, option B is the correct answer because seismic waves' speed and path depend on the material they pass through.
