What do seismic waves tell us about the interior of the Earth
Composition
Shape
All of the above
None of the above
Seismic Waves varies with
Size and shape
Density and elasticity
Shape and texture
Composition and velocity
What layer is the densest
Oceanic crust
Mantle
Inner core
Outer core
What is the oceanic crust mostly composed of?
Peridotite
Basalt
Granite
Iron and Nickel
What records seismic waves that are reflected off the geologic features on land
Seismographs
Seismograms
Hydroplanes
None of the above
Bending of waves as they travel through different mediums
Reflection
Discontinuity
Refraction
Waves do not bend
Why do waves bend up?
They move from low to high density
They hit a different layer
They move from high to low density
Idk man

Unconformity
Mohorovicic Discontinuity
Disconfirmity
Non-conformity
Which waves will reach a seismograph first
Deeper waves
Shallow waves
S waves
Seismic Waves
Why do waves refract
Different velocities
Different texture
All of the above
None of the above
The average velocity of a seismic wave traveling through the mantle
6 km/sec
6km/sec^3
8 km/sec
8 km/sec^3
What lies between 105-140 degrees
Mantle-core boundary
S Shadow Zone
P Shadow Zone
Inner core
P Shadow Zones exist due to
P Waves not being able to pass through liquids
S waves not being able to pass through the core
P waves refracting in the core
S Waves refracting the core
S Shadow Zones are formed due to the
P waves refracting
S Waves refracting
The core
Mantle
Which one makes the most sense
Faster P Wave-warmer material-blue green
Slower P wave- warmer material- blue green
Slower p wave - warmer material - blue green
Faster p wave - cooler material- red
