OpenStudy (anonymous):

no there mechanical :)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the Earth's layers, and are a result of an earthquake, explosion, or a volcano that imparts low-frequency acoustic energy.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

A mechanical wave is a wave that propagates as an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Ocean waves travel through water which is a matter hence, they are mechanical waves !
