The study of how seismic waves change as they travel through the EARTH HAS REVEALED?

Earth's outer core is liquid because S-waves are not transmitted through this layer


What earth layer are s waves not transmitted?

S waves are not transmitted through the Earth's outer core because it is liquid, and S waves cannot travel through liquids. This creates a shadow zone on the opposite side of the Earth from an earthquake where S waves are not detected.


Can S waves be transmitted though water or air?

S waves cannot be transmitted through water as they require a solid medium to propagate. However, S waves can travel through air, but they do so at a much slower speed compared to in a solid medium.

What type of earthquake wave travels faster?

P-waves(primary waves) travel faster than S-waves(secondary waves)


Layer of the earth through which P waves travel slowly and S waves cannot travel at all?

The outer core is the layer through which P waves travel slowly and S waves cannot travel at all. This is due to the outer core being composed of molten iron and nickel, which hinders the transmission of S waves.


What layer of Earth's interior will S waves not be able to travel?

liquid


Which wave type is formed when the wave reach the earths surface?

L waves are formed when P&S waves reach the surface.


In what direction do seismic waves carry the energy of an earthquake?

Seismic waves are the earths crust vibrating. there are two types of waves P-waves and S-waves (Primary and Secondary) Primary waves travel faster than s waves and can travel through solid and liquid, S-waves can only travel through solids
