Answer:
Explanation:
The slow movements are the ones that take place on the Earth's crust which changes it slowly and gradually thereby taking thousands of years. Examples are the fold mountains which occur by folding of layers within the Earth's crust.
As we know from physics, all waves change direction when they pass through layers of different density (refraction). ... Refraction of seismic waves causes them to curve away from a direct path. Reflection causes them to glance off certain surfaces (e.g. core mantle boundary) when they hit it at too shallow of an angle.
