The video explains seismic waves produced by large-scale events like earthquakes and volcanoes, focusing on P waves and S waves. P waves are longitudinal and travel through both solids and liquids, while S waves are transverse and only travel through solids, helping scientists understand the Earth's internal structure using seismometers.

The video explains seismic waves produced by large-scale events like earthquakes and volcanoes, focusing on P waves and S waves. P waves are longitudinal and travel through both solids and liquids, while S waves are transverse and only travel through solids, helping scientists understand the Earth's internal structure using seismometers.
Question 1
Scientists use seismic waves to understand Earth's internal structure.
Question 2
What type of waves are P waves?
Question 3
Which waves travel faster, P waves or S waves?
Question 4
CASE STUDY: A seismologist is analyzing data from an earthquake that occurred in the Pacific Ocean. They notice that certain waves are detected almost everywhere, while others are not detected in a particular region.
All of the following explain the observations except:
Question 5
CASE STUDY: During an earthquake, seismometers around the world detect P waves but not S waves in certain regions.
Select three correct explanations for this detection pattern:
