what happens to p and s-waves as they travel inside the earth?


Sagot :

Answer:

the P wave is the one who will be first to reach the other side of the earth than S wave , because P wave can travel on liquid and solid faster and S wave can only travel in solid

Explanation:

The speed of P waves and S waves increases as they travel deeper into the Earth's mantle . They travel through the Earth in curved paths, but they change direction suddenly when they pass through the boundary between substances in different states.
