The shadow zone exists because

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.

In which layer is the pressure the highest

The inner core

Why do scientist think earths core contains iron

other orbiting bodies contain more iron than earths crust does

Which describes how a compass works

. The south magnetic pole of the compass points to Earth's north magnetic pole.

Which is a method that scientists use to determine the composition of Earth's layers

Comparing the composition of the crust to other bodies in the solar system.

Which was an argument used to dispute the theory of plate tectonics

Continents cannot cut through the ocean floor.

The shadow zone exists due to the of seismic waves

refraction refraction

What is true about compasses

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

Why do scientists think Earth's core contains iron

Samples of Earth's crust contain less iron than found in meteorites, and iron is a comparatively heavy element that would have sunk into the planet when it was being formed.

The continental crust is what

The continental crust is up to 70 km thick.

Which of the following is true of permanent magnets

magnetic stuff...
