Question
Carefully study the image below. Notice that, in some areas relative to the earthquake focus, P-waves released during the earthquake are never received. This area is called the P-wave shadow zone and is a result of [X] (If you need help, re-watch the video in Question #1.) the natural tendency of P-waves to travel in curved paths, regardless of the material they travel through P-waves refracting when they change velocity as they pass through materials of different densities and states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) S-waves interfering with P-waves as they travel through the earth's interior primarily the curvature of the earth Carefully read Part I of your lab. When you are finished, match the labeled portions of the seismogram below with the terms that best describe them.Explanation / Answer
Question 6
Answer: P waves refracting when they change velocity as they pass through materials of different densities and states of matter (solid, liquid, gas).
P waves can travel faster in solids than liquid and gas states of matter but s waves can travel only in solids not in liquids state matter , that is the reason here for shadow zone.
