What happens to S waves and P waves as they pass through the Earth's inner core?
its simple. they dont
What happens to seismic waves when they pass through the solid inner core?
Seismic waves than changes direction and speed because of the matter it's passing through and the moving from different matter's (Inner core-Outer core)
How does earths inner core affect seismic waves?
They go faster through the inner core than the liquid outer core
Inner core state of matter?
the inner core is a solid
What evidence did scientists use to figure out Earths inner core is solid?
Scientists use the difference in density between the inner and outer core as evidence that the inner core is solid. This was proven using seismic waves traveling through the earth.
What happens to p-waves when they strike the inner core.?
When the P wave strikes the inner core it bends and goes in a different direction.
What happens to p-waves when they strike the inner core?
When the P wave strikes the inner core it bends and goes in a different direction.

Seismic waves than changes direction and speed because of the matter it's passing through and the moving from different matter's (Inner core-Outer core)
Do S waves travel through earth's inner core?
While S waves (shear waves) can travel through earth's solid inner core, they cannot travel through earth's liquid outer core, which surrounds the inner core.So, unless the S waves originated inside the inner core (which seems unlikely) there are no S waves traveling through earth's inner core.
What happens the the p wave when they strike the inner core?
When the P wave strikes the inner core it bends and goes in a different direction.
How does earths solid inner core affect seismic waves?
They go faster through the inner core than the liquid outer core.
Are p waves bent when they strike the core?
no
What was assumed of the inner core as to how it transmitted waves?
We do not see shear (S) waves passing through the outer core. Because liquids can not be sheared, we infer that the outer core is molten. We do, however, see waves that travel through the outer core as P waves, and then transform into S waves as they go through the inner core. Because the inner core does transmit shear energy, we assume it is solid.
How does earths inner core affect seismic waves?
They go faster through the inner core than the liquid outer core
What is the nature of the iron inner core?
The inner core is believed to be solid, based on scientific observations of seismic waves.
Why do scientists believe the Inner core is solid?
They believe that because of the waves moving faster through the inner core than the outer core
