What usually causes tsunamis?
travel faster through more dense solid materials
seismic studies which indicate that shear waves do not pass through the outer core
travel at different rates through different materials
less
P-waves, only
waves are going into a material with different properties
undersea earthquakes
S-waves are not transmitted through the outer core.
A characteristic of compressional waves and shear waves is that they both
travel faster through more dense solid materials
seismic studies which indicate that shear waves do not pass through the outer core
travel at different rates through different materials
less
P-waves, only
waves are going into a material with different properties
undersea earthquakes
S-waves are not transmitted through the outer core.
Useful information regarding the composition of the interior of the Earth can be derived from earthquakes because earthquake waves
travel faster through more dense solid materials
seismic studies which indicate that shear waves do not pass through the outer core
travel at different rates through different materials
less
P-waves, only
waves are going into a material with different properties
undersea earthquakes
S-waves are not transmitted through the outer core.
An abrupt change in the speed of seismic waves is an indication that the
