What is the band around the earth where seismic waves are not detected?

The band around the Earth where seismic waves are not detected is known as the seismic shadow zone. It exists between 105 and 140 degrees away from the earthquake epicenter. Seismic waves are not detected in this region due to the refraction and reflection of waves in the Earth's interior layers.

The shadow zone exists because?

sunlight blocks out S waves in certain regions.

What is the wide belt in which no seismic waves are received?

The region is known as a seismic shadow zone, located between 104 and 143 degrees from the epicenter of an earthquake. This area exists due to the core's properties refracting seismic waves away from it, causing minimal wave detection.

What are seismic waves associated with?

Seismic waves are associated with earthquakes.

Are surface waves the fastest seismic waves?

No, they are in fact the slowest! The fastest seismic waves are P-waves.

Which seismic waves travel the fastest?

Primary waves (P-waves) are the fastest seismic waves and are the first to be detected after an earthquake. They are able to travel through solid rock, liquid, and gas, making them the fastest seismic waves.

What part of earth does not receive seismic waves?

The epicenter does not recive seismic waves.
