Question text1. The figure below shows a simple model of a planet with two concentric layers. The planet’s core radius is [math: r=600km] and the whole planet’s radius is [math: R=6000km] (Figure not drawn to scale !). Layer 1 (mantle) is solid and has a uniform P wave velocity [math: VP1=8km/s] and uniform S wave velocity [math: VS1=4km/s]. The second layer (the core) is liquid and has a uniform P wave velocity [math: VP2=5km/s] and a uniform S wave velocity [math: VS2=0km/s]. The figure also shows half of the S wave shadow zone between points B and C, subtended by the angle [math: a]. In this region there are no S waves detected from an earthquake that occurs at point A. a) Calculate the angle [math: a] to two significant figures in degrees, thus finding the half angle of the S wave shadow zone. [math: a=] Answer 1 Question 1[input] degrees [4]b) If an artificial earthquake is generated at point A (at the surface), calculate the time it takes for an S wave to arrive at point B and the time it takes for a P wave to travel to point C. Give your answers in minutes to two significant figures. Hint: Look at the triangle AOBTime for S wave=Answer 2 Question 1[input] minutes [3]Time for P wave=Answer 3 Question 1[input] minutes [3]多项填空题

Which of the following statements concerning the behavior of seismic waves within the Earth is FALSE?
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)
Which type of seismic wave does NOT travel through liquids (such at the liquid outer core of the earth)?
