Where is the Weichert discontinuity?
The Gutenberg Discontinuity is the mantle/core boundary within Earth's interior where there is an abrupt change in the seismic waves (generated by earthquakes or explosions) that travel through Earth. It is at a depth of about 1,800 mi (2,900 km) below the surface.
What is seismic tomography?
Seismic imaging is when seismograms take recordings of the Earth's surface. That are mapped into representations of its interior properties. Seismic imaging investigates the physical characteristics that lie underneath the Earth's surface.
Identify the medium of seismic waves?
earth
What is a wave of energy released from an earthquake?
The seismic or shock energy that travels through Earth away from an earthquake is a form of mechanical energy. Mechanical energy applies force to materials. That's what seismic energy does in moving rocks in the earth's crust.
How scientists use seismic waves to map the earth's interior?
Scientists use seismic waves to map Earth's interior by using seismographs that measure the times at which seismic waves arrive at different distances from an earthquake.
What is seismic in earthquakes?
It relates to earthquakes or other tremors in the earth, such as those caused by large explosions
What does a seizmograph measure?
It measures vibrations of the ground . It records the vibration of Earth due to earthquakes, nuclear explosions or other sources that causes seismic action.
What does seismic?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.

How do seismic waves move through earth?
How do scientists use seismic waves to study the Earth
What is seismic shifting?
Seismic shifting is the shifting of the earth's crustal plates, causing seismic activity.
How Earth is done?
Maybe by a volcanic explosions, because many scientists says the earth came from a giant volcanic explosions
What is seismic tomography?
Seismic imaging is when seismograms take recordings of the Earth's surface. That are mapped into representations of its interior properties. Seismic imaging investigates the physical characteristics that lie underneath the Earth's surface.
What is the definition of seismic wave?
Seismic Waves - are mechanical vibrations that occur inside the Earth caused by the breaking of rocks.
What part of earth does not receive seismic waves?
The epicenter does not recive seismic waves.
