Question

12. [TG.05] What happens to an earthquake's P-waves when they strike the liquid core? (2 points) They bounce off. They are absorbed. They change into S-waves. They change into R-waves.

Answer 1

P-waves generally bend outward as they travel thru the mantle due to increased density of the mantle rocks with depth

Answer 2

Whenever an earthquake’s P-waves trike the liquid core than they are absorbed.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The p waves are define as the two basic types of waves which are elastic known as seismic waves.

• It is believed that the p-waves are the waves which are the fastest in travelling compared to other seismic waves and these signals are the first signal we get from an earthquake arriving at some point.

• These p-eaves are believed to be transferred from air, gas and liquid.
