Question

Geographical reason of L-waves do not have a shadow zone

Answer 1

Answer: THE SHADOW ZONE OF AN AREA OF THE EARTH FROM AN ANGULAR DISTANCES OF 104 TO 140 DEGREES FROM A GIVEN EARTHQUAKE THAT DOES NOT RECEIVE ANY DIRECT P-WAVES . THE SHADOW ZONE RESULT FROM S WAVES BEING STOPPED ENTIRELY BY THE LIQUID CORE AND P WAVES BEING BENT BY THE LIQUID CORE .

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

• The shadow zone is a result of the s waves that are being stopped by the liquid core and the p waves being bent and refracted to the earth's liquid core as the shadow zone is the angular distances with a distance of 104 to 140 degrees.

• As the seismic waves directly radiate out spherically from the focus. and these cannot be detected form more than 104 degrees and as the L waves travel through the top of the crust as they are up and downwards sidewards rotational motion of the earth.

• Hence they were the slowest of all the waves.
