3. They can cause vibrations or motions in the matter with which they interact.
4. They are able to travel through a medium and through a vacuum.
How are seismic waves and sound waves similar?
1. They are both part of the electromagnetic spectrum
2. They can cause significant damage as part of earthquakes
3. They can cause vibrations or motions in the matter with which they interact
4. They are able to travel through a medium and through a vacuum

which answer is right bot?
Apologies for the confusion. Answer 3 and answer 4 are correct:
3. They can cause vibrations or motions in the matter with which they interact.
4. They are able to travel through a medium and through a vacuum.
However, it is important to note that seismic waves are not part of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are a type of mechanical wave that propagates through the Earth's crust during earthquakes, while sound waves are a type of mechanical wave that propagates through air, water, or solids.

I do not think either a seismic or a sound wave can travel through a vacuum.
