Which of the following statements concerning the behavior of seismic waves within the Earth is FALSE?单项选择题

A

As seismic waves move from the lithosphere down into the asthenosphere, the P-waves and S-waves will both continue on but will slow down.

B

As seismic waves move from the lower mantle up into the asthenosphere, the P-waves and S-waves will both continue on but will slow down.

C

As seismic waves move from the inner core up into the outer core, the P-waves slow down but any S-wave present would die out completely.

D

As seismic waves move from regions of cooler mantle material into warmer mantle material, the P-waves and S-waves will both speed up.

E

As seismic waves move from the outer core up into the lower mantle, the P-waves will speed up as they move into the solid mantle rock.

Match the seismic wave characteristics with the type of waves that display that characteristic (you may use a wave type more than once). 1: travel fastest (first to arrive) 2: last to arrive, but cause the most extensive damage due to side-to-side and rolling motion 3: compressional waves that cause the ground to move back and forth in the direction the wave is moving (like a the motion when you push a slinky) 4: shear waves that cause the ground to move up and down perpendicular to the motion of the wave (similar to shaking a rope up and down)
