Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Seismic waves travel faster through hard rocks than through softer rocks and sediments. As the waves pass from deeper harder to shallow softer rocks they slow down and get bigger in amplitude as the energy piles up. The softer the rock or soil under a site is, the larger the wave. Softer soils amplify ground motion.
Detailed explanation-2: -These waves can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. P waves can travel through the liquid outer core.
