What happens to P- and S- waves when they reach the center of the earth?
P waves travel much faster than S waves so they reach the core faster. They can travel through the outer core, but change direction slightly, causing a p-waves shadow zone. S waves cannot travel through the outer core because it is liquid and has zero rigidity so they are diverted around it causing a much larger shadow zone called the S wave shadow zone. Surface, or L waves cannot travel through the earth at all. P-waves are observed directly opposite to the epicentre of earthquake which states that the wave passing through the earth as a diameter has no effect on its path.
The shadow zone exists due to the of seismic waves?
The shadow zone is formed due to the bending of seismic waves as they pass through the Earth's outer core, which is made of liquid iron. P-waves slow down and refract in the outer core, causing a gap in their detection on the opposite side of the Earth. S-waves do not travel through the liquid outer core and are completely blocked, creating a secondary shadow zone.
What does it mean if he sees his shadow and how does it impact his future actions?
If he sees his shadow, it means there is sunlight behind him casting the shadow. This usually happens on a sunny day. The impact on his future actions depends on the context. For example, if he sees his shadow while making a decision, it may give him a sense of direction or clarity. In terms of folklore, seeing his shadow on Groundhog Day is believed to predict the weather for the upcoming weeks.
What happens to the rainfall in Texas as it moves from east to west?
Rainfall decreases as it moves from east to west in Texas due to the rain shadow effect caused by the Rocky Mountains. The mountains block moisture-laden air from reaching the western regions, creating drier conditions. This leads to a drier climate in areas west of the mountains.
Why is s wave shadow zone larger than the p wave shadow zone?
In simple terms the shadow zone of the S-wave is larger because of the Earth's liquid outer core. The S-wave cannot travel through the liquid outer core but the P-waves get refracted at the boundary between the mantle and the outer core. This is why the S-wave shadow zone is larger than the P wave shadow zone. P waves are refracted at the liquid outer core of the Earth, while S waves are attenuated or stopped entirely. This allows P waves to go "around" the core and reach locations on the far side of the Earth that are within the shadow of the S waves. -- A P-wave is a longitudinal wave with an alternating stretching and compressing motion in the direction of propagation. An S wave is a transverse wave with a vertical motion perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The shadow zone of a P-wave exists from 105 to 143 degrees (epicentral distance). This is caused by P waves meeting the liquid outer core and being refracted. Part of the P wave is also reflected by the outer core and as a result of the two, a shadow zone exists. The shadow zone of an S-wave exists from 105 to 180 degrees (epicentral distance). S-waves cannot travel through liquids at all so rather than being refracted by the liquid outer core and traveling through it, they are totally reflected, resulting in a shadow zone from 105 to 180 degrees.
What happens to temperature as the angle at which the sun's ray strike earth's surface increases as the angle decrease What happens to the length of shadows at the same time?
When it decreases the showdows get smaller and fade but when the angle increases the shadow gets bigger.
What happens to your shadow if you stand in the lights of a tree's shadow?
A tree's shadow does not have light. Anytime you are in the shadow of another object your body has no shadow of its own.
What happens when one object is in the shadow of another?
its in the shadow of another
What happens on eclipse?
An eclipse is a shadow. A solar eclipse is the Moon's shadow on the Earth, and a Lunar eclipse is the Earth's shadow on the Moon.
How does the size of the shadow vary with the distance between the light source and the object?
The size of the shadow increases as the distance between the light source and the object increases. This is because the light rays diverge further apart as they travel a greater distance, resulting in a larger shadow being cast. Conversely, if the light source is closer to the object, the shadow will be smaller.
What is the diameter of the front fork tube on a 1986 Honda Shadow VT 1100?
41 mm.
What happens when the Moon's shadow hits the earth?
an eclipse
What happens to the shadow as this light source moves?
As you move farther away your shadow get bigger and goes away
What happens to the length of a shadow during the morning?
It will shorten as the sun rises to its apogee over the object casting the shadow.
What causes eclipses of the moon?
Well, an eclipse is when the moon's shadow hits Earth or Earth's shadow hits the moon, and that's when an eclipse happens. So that's basically what happens to cause the eclipses of the moon.
What will happen to shadow if the light is moved away from the object?
The shadow will diminish in size and darkness as the distance between the object and the light source increases. Eventually, the shadow will fade away completely if the object is no longer within the reach of the light.
What happens if he sees his shadow?
there is 6 more weeks of winter
