1What do Earthquakes Cause?
- AShock waves, they travel on the surface and inside earth. We record them with Seismographs.
- BOcean Trenches.
2What Two Types of Waves are there.
- AP-Waves and S-Waves
- BD-waves and M-waves
3Explain P-Waves
- AThey go through Solids and Liquids.
They are faster than S-Waves.
They are Longitudinal. - BThey only travel through Solids.
They are Slower.
They Are Transverse.
- AThey go through Solids and Liquids.
4Explain S-Waves
- AThey only travel through Solids.
They are Slower.
They Are Transverse. - BThey go through Solids and Liquids.
They are faster than S-Waves.
They are Longitudinal.
- AThey only travel through Solids.
5What happens to waves when they reach different layers of earth?
- AThey reflect, Sometimes
- BThey go init.
6Do waves Change Speed?
- AYes, as the properties of the Mantle and Core change, it causes them to also change direction slightly - This is Refraction
- BNope.
7Is the speed Change of waves Gradual?
- AA lot of the time, it is, so it's got a curved path. But when the properties change suddenly, speed changes abruptly and so does Direction.
- BNo its sudden.
8What do P-waves tell us about The Mantle and Core.
- AP-Waves change direction abruptly about halfway down into earth, showing a sudden change in properties.
- BNuffin.
9S-waves are not detected in the core's shadow, what does this tell us?
- AThat the Outer core is liquid because S waves only go through Solids
- BTHat the Core is Gas.
10P-waves travel slightly faster in the core, what does this show?
- AThat the core is Solid.
- BThat the core is Gas.
11S-waves go through mantle, what does this show?
- AThat the Mantle is solid.
- BThat the Mantle is Liquid.
