The seismic waves that travel through Earths interior are waves.?
body waves
How do you obtain indirect evidence about earths interior?
Seismic waves
Are electromagnetic waves attracted to earths north and south pole?
no
Do p waves travel through earths mantle?
Yes, P-waves (primary waves) can travel through the Earth's mantle. P-waves are a type of seismic wave that is capable of propagating through solid, liquid, and gaseous materials. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through the mantle, which is the layer between the Earth's crust and core.
Are light waves rotating waves?
Light waves can be expressed mathematically as either oscillating waves, rotating waves, pulsating waves or transient waves. It is up to the scientist to come up with a working model for the physical phenomena.
Which is a method scientists use to determine the composition of earths layers?
Shooting seismic waves into the planet
Scientists have been able to determine the composition of earths layer by what?
making inferences based on data from seismic waves.
Mechanical waves travel slowest in which physical state?
It moves it's slowest in the solid state
The seismic waves that travel through Earths interior are waves?
body waves
The seismic waves that travel through Earths interior are waves.?
body waves
Which wave is refracted by earths core?
Primary Waves(P-Waves)
What is a seismic wave that travels through the earths interior?
body waves
Which three factors determine how high the waves in a place will be?
the lenght of the waves , strenght of the waves and the duration o the high waves determine how high the waves in a place will be
What kind of waves can travel through earth and along earths surface?
The wave that can travel through earth and along earths surface is a SEISMIC wave.
How do seismic waves form?
By the earths atmosphere
What determine the size of waves?
The force and speed of wind will determine how little and big the waves are.
What can you learn from a seismograph?
they can learn about earthquakes before there about to happen and they can learn also about the layers of the earth when the wave goes through the earth.
