When the P wave strikes the inner core it bends and goes in a different direction.
When the P wave strikes the inner core it bends and goes in a different direction.
When S waves, or secondary waves, encounter the Earth's inner core, they are unable to penetrate it because S waves are shear waves that require a solid medium to travel through. Since the inner core is solid and composed primarily of iron and nickel, S waves are reflected and do not pass through. This phenomenon contributes to the understanding of the Earth's internal structure, as it indicates the transition from the liquid outer core to the solid inner core.
it goes into the inner core.
The movements in the liquid inner core.
The scientific name for the Earth's inner core is "Earth's solid inner core."
The inner core.
The inner core
No. The inner and outer core are both composed primarily of iron and nickel, but the outer core is liquid and surrounds the inner core. The inner core is the innermost layer of Earth and is kept solid by the enormous pressure.
the solid inner core and the liquid outer core
The outer core is liquid, the inner core is solid The outer core surrounds the inner core The outer core is iron-rich, the inner core is iron-rich and nickel-rich There is more pressure acting on the inner core The inner core is hotter
