Can someone help me make a 3 sentence paragraph using the words P waves, S waves, mantle, epicenter, wave speed, outer core, earthquake, inner core, depth, and crust?
Answers
Answer:
P.waves and S.waves change with depth of the earth
Explanation:
change with depth in the Earth.
Earthquakes produce P- and S-waves which pass through the Earth. Table 1 summarises the properties of P-waves and S-waves.
Earthquake wave
Other names
Mode of propagation
Properties
Surface waves
Love (L) and Rayleigh
Movement of the surface of the Earth
Reduce in intensity more quickly than other waves; these 'ground moving' waves cause the majority of earthquake devastation
Primary waves (body waves)
P-; push; pressure; compression; longitudinal
Compression and rarefaction of particles within the Earth
The faster of the two types of body waves; they travel through solids and liquids but travel more slowly through liquids than solids
Secondary waves (body waves)
S-; shear; transverse
Movement of the particles by shear, or motion at right angles to the wave travel direction
Thank you
