1. P-waves are seismic waves. They are longitudinal waves.
2. S-waves are seismic waves. They are transverse waves.
3.
Seismic waves are detected using a seismograph.
4. A
shadow zone is where only P-waves are detected not S-waves.
5. The
paths of P and S-waves curve as they travel through the Earth because the density
of the
Earth's material increases with depth.
6.
a) P and S-waves travel faster in more
dense material.
b) P-waves travel through solids and liquids .
c) S-waves travel through solids only.
d) P-waves are faster than S waves.
e) P and S-waves reveal the structure of the
Earth as they travel through it.
