What mechanical layer lies below the lithosphere

Definition1/18

asthenosphere

Term1/18

The shadow zone exists because

Definition1/18

the mantle and core are composed of different material

P waves refract as they travel through Earth. The shadow zone exists because of seismic waves. The shadows show when the earth spins around.

What is true about compasses

Definition1/18

compass magnets can be deflected by earths magnetic field or other permanent magnets

Term1/18

How long before an earthquake do foreshocks occur

Definition1/18

It could be days or YEARS before the major earthquake. Plate tectonics are always moving.
