It is referred to as a compression. The non-dense zone with few molecules is referred to as a rarefaction.

no, an s-wave shadow zone is way larger


Will sound waves that move from a zone of warmer water into a zone of cooler water will bend toward the cooler water?

Yes, sound waves moving from warmer water to cooler water will bend toward the cooler water. This phenomenon occurs because sound travels more slowly in cooler water than in warmer water. As the sound wave enters the cooler region, its speed decreases, causing the wave to refract and bend toward the cooler area. This bending is a result of the change in temperature and the associated change in sound speed.

How long does it take for a photon to move to the convection zone?

It takes about 100,000 years for a photon to move from the core of the sun to the convection zone. Photons created in the core of the sun have to undergo a random walk through the dense radiative zone before finally reaching the less dense convection zone.


Why a wave changes in the surf zone?

the bottom of the ocean is closer and the wave hit the bottom and they become shorter increasing the wave lenght

The dense layer of the sun that blocks energy and light is the zone?

The dense layer of the sun that blocks energy and light is the radiative zone. It is located between the core and the convective zone and is where energy generated in the core is transported outward through radiation. Particles of light, called photons, can take thousands to millions of years to travel through this zone due to its high density.


Of the 3 zones of the ocean in which would the water be most dense?

The water in the deep zone (abyssal zone) of the ocean would be most dense due to the high pressure and low temperature, causing water to become more compact and denser compared to surface waters.
