P-Waves
The planet that P-waves go through
What is Earth?
The medium that S-waves cannot travel through
What is liquid?
The outer layer of the earth
What is crust?
This layer of the earth is the most dense
What is the inner core
True or False: S and P-waves were used to help figure out what the inside of Earth may look like.
What is True?
The P's meaning in P-waves
What is primary?
The layer that S-waves reflect or are absorbed by
What is the Outer Core
The only layer that is liquid
What is the Outer Core
The density of water
What is 1?
The type of wave demonstrated when you crack a whip
Change in this causes these waves to bend
What is Density?
What is the Crust and Mantle
The layer with convection currents
This happens when one substance is more dense than another and they are in a container together
What is the denser substance will sink?

What is approximately 0.9?
Do they travel faster or slower than S-waves?
What is faster?
Are S-waves bigger or smaller than P-waves?
What is bigger?

What is the lithosphere?
If a substance with a density of 1 and one with a density of 4 were in a container together and the one with 1 density was at the bottom, which one would end up on top?

What is an electromagnetic wave?
Another name for a P-wave
What is a compressional wave?
Can S-waves travel through the inner core? Explain.
What is no, because the outer core is liquid and the S-waves would have to get through the outer core first?
