Best Answer

The bent wave paths can be explained if the core is composed of material that is different from the overlying mantle. The P waves bend around the core in a similar way to sound waves being bent around the corner of a building. For example, you can hear people talking from around the side of a building even if you cannot see them.In this way, rather than actually stopping the P waves in the shadow zone, the outer core bends them.
