What did scientists use to figure out that earth's inner core is solid rock?
Seismic waves travel faster when they travel through the core
What evidence did scientists use to figure out earth's inner core is solid rock?
Seismic waves travel faster when they travel through the core
What does seismic?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
Does seismic waves last longer on the earth or moon?
Seismic waves travel faster and last longer on the Moon compared to Earth due to the Moon's solid nature and lack of liquid outer core, which dampens and disperses seismic energy. This allows seismic waves on the Moon to propagate further without being absorbed or scattered as much as on Earth.
Seismic waves travel through Earth's layers at different speeds depending on the what?
Seismic waves travel through Earth's layers at different speeds depending on the density and composition of the materials they encounter. For example, seismic waves travel faster through solid rock than through molten magma or liquid layers. This variation in speed helps scientists to study and understand the internal structure of the Earth.
What does seismic mean?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
Earthquakes produce what that travel through earth?
Seismic waves
How was Earth's core discovered?
By studying how seismic waves travel through the Earth's interior.
What is the medium of seismic waves?
Seismic waves travel through the Earth's interior as a form of mechanical energy. They can travel through solid rock, liquid magma, and other materials found beneath the Earth's surface.
What Earthquakes produce that travel though Earth?
Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes and travel through the Earth. These waves can be divided into two main types: body waves (P-waves and S-waves) that travel through the interior of the Earth, and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface.
The part of the Earth that stops or slows down seismic waves?
The outer core is the part of the Earth that slows down or stops seismic waves due to the change in density and composition from the mantle. Seismic waves travel faster through solid materials like the mantle and crust, but slow down when they reach the liquid outer core.
Does the velocity of seismic waves generally decrease with depth in the Earth?
No, the velocity of seismic waves generally increases with depth in the Earth. This is due to the increasing pressure and density of materials as one moves deeper into the Earth's interior. As seismic waves travel through denser and more rigid materials, their speed increases, with primary (P) waves traveling faster than secondary (S) waves.
