There are two main types of body waves that travel through the earth during an earthquake: P-waves and S-waves. P-waves are faster, longitudinal primary waves that can travel through solid, liquid, and gas, while S-waves are slower, transverse secondary waves that can only travel through solids. Body waves transmit earthquake vibrations through the earth's interior and can travel far from the epicenter, making them detectable by seismographs and important for understanding earthquake monitoring, the earth's structure, and engineering designs.
Seismic waves are the waves of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the earth or an explosion.
Response of material to the arrival of energy fronts released by rupture.
Energy that travels through the earth and is recorded on seismographs.

The Earth's Interior: Mechanical Layers The Earth can be broken into more than just the
traditional compositional units of continental crust, oceanic crust, mantle, and core. Our
understanding of the Earth's mechanical layers has its roots in the study of earthquakes.
Earthquakes are ground vibrations caused by rapid release of stored energy along a fault. The
energy released radiates outward spherically in the form of seismic waves. Four different types
of seismic waves have been identified, two of which (Pwaves and S-waves) are called body
waves because they pass through the interior (body) of the earth. Por primary-waves are so called
because they are the first waves detected in any earthquake and they have the fastest velocities of
the wave types. S- or secondary-waves are slower than P-waves, arriving shortly after a P-wave
at a seismic station. All wave types travel faster through, denser and more rigid mediums,
however, S-waves can only travel through solid materials while P-waves can travel through
materials in a solid, liquid, or gaseous state. Seismologist use the various arrival times of
different seismic waves that have traveled though the Earth or bounced off layers to determine
the physical characteristics of the Earth's interior, in much the same way a technician can read a
sonogram from a doctor's office. Before interpreting the seismic velocity chart, you must make
sure you understand some of the basic rules as presented above:
Before interpreting the seismic velocity chart, you must make sure you understand some of the
basic rules as presented above: a) Which seismic wave travels faster, a P-wave or an S-wave? b)
Which seismic wave can travel through all mediums (solid, liquid, and gas)? c) Which seismic
wave can only travel through a solid medium? d) When seismic waves travel through a low
density medium, what should happen to their speed? e) When seismic waves travel through a
high density medium, what should happen to their speed?.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

source and can pass through solids ,
liquid, and gases
travel’s faster
Can penetrate through the earth’s
interior, reaching remote locations far
from the earthquake source
Surface waves
travel along the earth’s surface rather
than through interior
travel’s slower
confined to the earth’s surface and do
not penetrate deep into the interior
