As mechanical waves travel, they need a medium through which they can be transmitted. Mechanical waves can travel through a door or a window, which is why you can hear people outside when you are inside. Speaking of hearing, sound waves are transmitted through the air and through the movement of small bones in the inner ear. That is how you are able to hear! Earthquakes consist of shock waves, called seismic waves, that are transmitted directly through the ground. Earthquakes can also send surface waves that are sometimes reported by observers.
