What is the band around the earth where seismic waves are not detected?

The band around the Earth where seismic waves are not detected is known as the seismic shadow zone. It exists between 105 and 140 degrees away from the earthquake epicenter. Seismic waves are not detected in this region due to the refraction and reflection of waves in the Earth's interior layers.


What do earthquakes produce that travel through Earth?

Earthquakes produce seismic waves that travel through the Earth's interior. There are two main types of seismic waves: P-waves (primary waves) and S-waves (secondary waves). These waves can be detected and studied to better understand the properties of the Earth's interior.


Which type of seismic waves cannot be detected on the side of Earth opposite an earthquake?

Surface waves, such as Love waves or Rayleigh waves, are the seismic waves that cannot be detected on the side of Earth opposite an earthquake. These waves travel along the Earth's surface and are responsible for causing most of the damage during an earthquake.


Kind of wave released during an wave?

During an earthquake, seismic waves are released. These waves travel through the Earth and can be detected by seismographs. The main types of seismic waves are P-waves (primary waves), S-waves (secondary waves), and surface waves.


What is the main thing scientist observe in order to learn about the makeup of the earth's interior?

Scientists use seismic waves to study Earth's interior. Seismic waves travel through the Earth and can be detected far from their source.


What is shadow zones?

An area on Earth's surface where no direct seismic waves from a particular earthquake can be detected.


What causes a seismic wave?

things that can cause seismic waves are earthquackes


How do Earth's physical layers get detected using seismic waves?

I'm not sure but I hope someone Smart can answer it

Which type of seismic wave can be detected on the opposite side of earth from an earthquake?

P-waves as they are able to travel through the liquid outer core of the earth, where as S-waves are not.


Which seismic wave moves through Earth at the fastest speed?

Primary waves (P-waves) move through Earth at the fastest speed among seismic waves. They are able to travel through both solids and liquids, making them the first waves to be detected after an earthquake.


What is in the area where no seismic wave are detected?

Stress waves
