How are seismic waves and sound waves similar?
They are both part of the electromagnetic spectrum
They can cause significant damage as part of earthquakes
They can cause vibrations or motions in the matter with which they interact
1 answer
They both can be described in terms of frequency, wavelength, and amplitude. They both propagate through a medium, either through the ground in the case of seismic waves or through air, water, or solid objects in the case of sound waves. They can both be used to gather information about the properties of the medium through which they are traveling.
