Seismic waves can change dramatically when they encounter boundaries between different geological materials with contrasting densities and elastic properties, such as the crust-mantle boundary or the core-mantle boundary. These changes in seismic wave behavior are key in helping scientists study the internal structure of the Earth.
What else can I help you with?
What are areas of compression and rarefraction and in which type of wave do they apply?
Compression is the area of high pressure, where particles are closer together, while rarefaction is the area of low pressure, where particles are farther apart. These terms apply to all types of waves, including sound waves and seismic waves.
What are facts about p-waves?
1. Waves of energy that travel through the Earth. 2. Result of an earthquake, explosion, or a volcano that imparts low-frequency acoustic energy. 3. Seismic waves are studied by geophysicists called seismologists. 4. Recorded by a seismometer, hydrophone (in water), or accelerometer. 5. Types of seismic waves: body wave, surface waves S waves and P waves. 6. Scientists have used indirect measurements and seismic waves from earthquakes to determine the internal structure of the Earth. 7. Scientists have seismographs set up all over the world to track movement of the Earth's crust. 8. Surface waves travel along the surface of the earth. 9. Typically the most destructive type during an earthquake. 10. Seismic waves are not always detectable by seismometers.
What creates waves and swells?
Waves are created by wind blowing across the surface of the water, which transfers energy to the water's surface. Swells are formed as waves travel away from their area of origin and organize into more uniform and rhythmic patterns due to their similar wavelengths. Tides, seismic activity, and underwater landslides can also contribute to wave formation.
What are the areas of compression and rarefraction an dwhich type wave do they aply?
LONGITUDINAL wave. Air layers come closer at a particular time at a particular place is known to be compression. At the same place after some time the layers get separated. This is rarefaction. For example, a sound wave.
Where do waves originate?
Longitudinal waves are the result of earthquakes, and are also known as Primary, or P-Waves. Longitudinal waves are faster than Transverse (Secondary) Waves. A diagram of a Longitudinal wave is a straight line, with a denser area where the wave itself is travelling.
In which area do seismic waves change dramatically?
they use vaginas
In which area do seismic waves change dramatically in speedanswer?
mohorovicic discontinuity
What area do seismic waves change in speed?
Mohorovicic Discontinuity. A+Good luck! ~K
How do the data from movements of seismic waves help geologist determine the risk for an area?
If an area has a strong amount of seismic waves along, or around, you can predict if an area is active for earthquakes

What area do seismic wave change dramatically?
Seismic waves can dramatically change in velocity and direction when they encounter boundaries between different types of rock or geological formations. These changes, known as refraction and reflection, occur at interfaces with contrasting physical properties, leading to the bending or bouncing of seismic waves. The behavior of seismic waves at these boundaries provides valuable information about the Earth's interior structure.
