Seismic wave speeds change with respect to temperature, pressure, and rock composition. how does this information scientists?

Seismic waves travel faster in denser rocks; temperature tends to lower the speed of seismic waves; and pressure tends to increases the speed. Caution: The speed of a seismic wave generally increases with depth, despite the fact that the increase of temperature with depth works to lower the wave velocity.

this helps scientists because it shows how fast a earthquake is moving

Explanation:

he is very short, and he can only reach halfway up on the elevator buttons. but on a rainy day, he has his umbrella with him, and he uses it to poke the button at the top.
