Why are P-waves received, but S-waves are not received by seismic stations located on the opposite side of Earth from an earthquake epicenter?
high elevation and horizontal bedrock
8 million years
0.3 cm/s
thinner and more dense
unsorted sediment directly deposited by a glacier
many land plants
wave action
Earth’s outer core absorbs S-waves.
