What heats the earths surface and causes water to change states?

The sun's radiation heats the Earth's surface through a process called solar radiation. This heat causes water to change states by evaporating into water vapor, condensing into clouds, and eventually returning to the surface as precipitation.


What is a seismic wave that travels through the earths interior?

body waves


What is the name of the person who specializes in the study of earthquakes and other movements of the earths crust?

A seismologist specializes in the study of earthquakes and other movements of the Earth's crust. They analyze seismic waves to understand Earth's internal structure and study the causes and effects of seismic activity.


What is the immediate result of a sudden slippage of rocks within earths crust?

The immediate result of a sudden slippage of rocks within Earth's crust is an earthquake. This movement along faults causes seismic waves to propagate through the Earth, leading to shaking of the ground surface.


How do scientists use seismic waves to learn about Earths layers?

Scientists use seismic waves to study Earth's layers by analyzing how they travel through the different materials that make up the Earth. The speed and direction of seismic waves change as they encounter different densities and compositions in the layers of the Earth, providing valuable information about the structure of the planet's interior. By measuring the arrival times and characteristics of seismic waves at different locations, scientists can infer details about the depth, density, and composition of Earth's layers.

What does it mean when a seismic wave goes through the earths center?

Seismic waves that can pass through the centre of the Earth must be capable of travelling through liquids (as the outer core is molten). As such we know that these waves are longitudinal or compression waves.


Do p waves travel through earths mantle?

Yes, P-waves (primary waves) can travel through the Earth's mantle. P-waves are a type of seismic wave that is capable of propagating through solid, liquid, and gaseous materials. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through the mantle, which is the layer between the Earth's crust and core.


How do seismic waves form?

By the earths atmosphere


What kind of waves can travel through earth and along earths surface?

Seismic waves are the types of waves that can travel through the Earth and along its surface. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves (such as primary and secondary waves) that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves (such as Love and Rayleigh waves) that travel along the Earth's surface.


How does earths inner core affect seismic waves?

They go faster through the inner core than the liquid outer core
