SEISMIC
WAVES
Lesson Objective:
1. Identify the layers of the Earth
and their characteristics in
relation to seismic waves;
2. Describe the behavior of
seismic waves;
3. Compare and contrast P wave
and S wave in terms of their
speed and behavior;
4. Explain how seismic waves are
used to describe the interior of
the Earth.
TYPES OF SEISMIC WAVES
BODY WAVES SURFACE WAVES
Travel through the inner layers Only travel through Earth’s

1. Seismic waves from
earthquakes are used
by scientists to study
the interior of the
Earth. ABOUT SEISMIC
WAVES
2. Seismic waves move
at different speeds when
they travel through
different types of
materials they are
encountering. ABOUT SEISMIC
WAVES
3. As the body waves travel
through the Earth, the waves
are bent by the different
materials that make up the
Earth. The bending of waves
is similar to the bending of
light waves as they travel

liquids.
