What type of wave is shown traveling through the core explain why this is the only wave typeshown in the core?
The wave shown is a shear wave, also known as an S-wave. This is the only wave type that can travel through the Earth's core because it does not propagate through liquids, like the outer core, where P-waves cannot travel.
What happens when a wave reaches the edge of an object?
When a wave reaches the edge of an object, it can either undergo reflection, transmission, or diffraction. Reflection occurs when the wave bounces off the object, transmission happens when the wave passes through the object, and diffraction occurs when the wave bends around the object. These interactions depend on the properties of the wave and the object it encounters.
What happens to this wave as it reaches shore?
Since we don't know what "this wave" is, we cannot answer the question.
What happens when the solid barrier reaches the wave barrier?
When a solid barrier reaches the wave barrier, it will prevent the wave from propagating further. The solid barrier will absorb or reflect the wave energy, causing a change in the wave pattern and possibly generating new waves as a result.
What happens to a wave when it reaches a fixed boundary?
When a wave reaches a fixed boundary, it reflects back towards the medium it originated from. The direction of reflection depends on the type of wave and the properties of the boundary. In the case of a fixed boundary, the wave reflects without changing its phase.
What wave does not pass through liquid outer core?
Transverse waves do not pass through the liquid outer core of the Earth. These waves vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, making it unable to pass through the liquid outer core due to its fluid nature.
What is a body wave that does not penetrate the earth's core?
A body wave that does not penetrate the Earth's core is a compressional wave or P-wave. P-waves travel through the Earth by compressing and expanding the material they pass through, but they do not travel through the outer core because the outer core is liquid.
Which seismic body wave doesn't penetrate the Earth's core?
S-Wave. They are not able to travel through the liquid outer core.
What body wave can't move through the liquid outer core?
S waves cannot travel through the outer core because they can only travel through solids, and the outer core is liquid.

The wave shown is a shear wave, also known as an S-wave. This is the only wave type that can travel through the Earth's core because it does not propagate through liquids, like the outer core, where P-waves cannot travel.
Why is the s-wave shadow zone larger than the p- wave shadow zone?
S waves cannot pass through the outer core. P waves can pass through both outer and inner core.
What happens to a p wave when it crosses the mantle to the core?
When a P wave travels from the mantle to the core, it gradually slows down and refracts due to the differences in material density and composition. As it enters the outer core, the P wave undergoes a sudden increase in velocity and refracts again. This change in velocity causes the P wave to travel along the boundary of the outer core, creating a shadow zone on the opposite side of the Earth where the wave is not detected by seismometers.
What happens when a wave reaches the edge of an object?
When a wave reaches the edge of an object, it can either undergo reflection, transmission, or diffraction. Reflection occurs when the wave bounces off the object, transmission happens when the wave passes through the object, and diffraction occurs when the wave bends around the object. These interactions depend on the properties of the wave and the object it encounters.

Why cant s-waves travel through the core and p-waves can?
P=wave is short for pressure wave. S-wave is short for shear wave. This should suggest a possible reason they behave differently in the (molten) outer core.
Why is s wave shadow zone larger than the p wave shadow zone?
In simple terms the shadow zone of the S-wave is larger because of the Earth's liquid outer core. The S-wave cannot travel through the liquid outer core but the P-waves get refracted at the boundary between the mantle and the outer core. This is why the S-wave shadow zone is larger than the P wave shadow zone. P waves are refracted at the liquid outer core of the Earth, while S waves are attenuated or stopped entirely. This allows P waves to go "around" the core and reach locations on the far side of the Earth that are within the shadow of the S waves. -- A P-wave is a longitudinal wave with an alternating stretching and compressing motion in the direction of propagation. An S wave is a transverse wave with a vertical motion perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The shadow zone of a P-wave exists from 105 to 143 degrees (epicentral distance). This is caused by P waves meeting the liquid outer core and being refracted. Part of the P wave is also reflected by the outer core and as a result of the two, a shadow zone exists. The shadow zone of an S-wave exists from 105 to 180 degrees (epicentral distance). S-waves cannot travel through liquids at all so rather than being refracted by the liquid outer core and traveling through it, they are totally reflected, resulting in a shadow zone from 105 to 180 degrees.
What happens when the solid barrier reaches the wave barrier?
When a solid barrier reaches the wave barrier, it will prevent the wave from propagating further. The solid barrier will absorb or reflect the wave energy, causing a change in the wave pattern and possibly generating new waves as a result.
