Which evidence recorded at seismic stations following an earthquake supports the inference that Earth's interior changes from Solid Rock to Molten iron and nickel at the mantle core boundary?
Seismic waves generated by earthquakes provide crucial evidence for understanding Earth's internal structure. When these waves are analyzed, it is observed that P-waves (primary waves) can travel through both solid and liquid, while S-waves (secondary waves) can only travel through solids. The fact that S-waves do not reach seismic stations on the opposite side of the Earth indicates the presence of a liquid outer core, composed of molten iron and nickel, which lies beneath the solid mantle. This discontinuity in wave propagation supports the inference that there is a transition from solid rock in the mantle to molten metal at the core-mantle boundary.
What the list of properties that ocean water had due to the fact that it contains salt?
Liquid liquid gas
What does a p wave tell us about Earth and interior?
A P wave, or primary wave, is a type of seismic wave that travels through the Earth during an earthquake. It is a compressional wave that can move through both solids and liquids, providing key insights into the Earth's interior structure. The behavior of P waves, including their speed and path, helps seismologists determine the composition and state of various layers within the Earth, such as the crust, mantle, and outer core. For instance, the fact that P waves can travel through the outer core indicates that it is in a liquid state.
What property of electromagnetic waves makes it possible to use waves to transmit information between a space shuttle and NASA mission control centers on the ground?
Mainly the fact that such waves can travel through empty space.
Which earth layer is made up of liquid rock?
No layer is truly made of liquid rock. The mantle is sometimes, inaccurately, said to be liquid rock when it is in fact solid, albeit relatively soft. The outer core is liquid, but it consists of liquid metal, not rock.
What do sound waves travel the slowest solids liquids or gasses?
In fact, it travels faster, in a liquid, than in air.In fact, it travels faster, in a liquid, than in air.In fact, it travels faster, in a liquid, than in air.In fact, it travels faster, in a liquid, than in air.
What characteristic of seismic waves tells you that the composition of earth is solid?
The behavior of seismic waves, such as the way they change speed and direction as they pass through Earth's layers, indicates that the composition of Earth is solid. This is because seismic waves travel differently through solid materials compared to liquid or gaseous ones, allowing scientists to infer that Earth's interior must be solid.
P waves can travel through solids and liquids but S waves can only travel through solids P waves travel faster through rock than through liquid This fact is used to help determine the composition yo?
...the composition of the Earth.

Are surface waves the fastest seismic waves?
No, they are in fact the slowest! The fastest seismic waves are P-waves.
How is glass a liquid?
Glass is not a liquid. It is in fact a solid.
What kinds of matter can sound travel through?
Sound waves (depending on length and initial decible level) can pass through any matter. In fact, it has been through the use of sound waves that we determined the core of our planet is mostly super hot-liquid iron!
Is dew liquid or gas?
Dew is a liquid, water in fact.
Compression waves resulting from the firing of a gun are in fact?
Compression waves resulting from the firing of a gun are in fact high-pressure sound waves that propagate through the air. These waves are responsible for the loud noise heard when a gun is fired.
Which seismic wave does not travel through liquid?
S waves do not travel through liquids because they cannot propagate in a medium without shear strength. This is due to the fact that S waves involve particle motion that is perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, and this motion is impeded in liquids.
Are there other waves besides electromagnetic and mechanical?
Quantifying the number of types of waves in fact reduces to the problem of quantifying the number of forces. In fact, mechanical waves are a subset of electromagnetic waves, so there are in fact three other types of waves on top of electromagnetic, for the three other fundamental forces: strong nuclear, weak nuclear, gravitational. Mechanical movement can be caused by any of the four fundamental forces. *Short answer: no. By the way, mechanical waves require a medium, where EM waves do not. They are the only, two, separate types of waves.
