∙ 9y agoSeismic waves contain both P waves and S waves. P waves can travel through the Earth including the inner core while S waves could not pass through the core.

A ball of hot solid metals at earths center?
The center of the Earth is a solid ball of iron-nickel alloy called the inner core.
What is earths core mostly made out of?
The Inner (solid) and Outter (liquid) Core are made up of Nickel and Iron.
What effects does p and s waves have on earths crust?
They show that the outer core of the Earth is liquid while the inner core is solid.
Is there a bunny in the earths core?
no it is not true. there is solid iron and nickel in the Earths core
In what direction do seismic waves carry the energy of an earthquake?
Seismic waves are the earths crust vibrating. there are two types of waves P-waves and S-waves (Primary and Secondary) Primary waves travel faster than s waves and can travel through solid and liquid, S-waves can only travel through solids
What have seismic studies discovered about earths core?
the outer core is liquid; the inner core is solid
What evidence did scientists use to figure out Earths inner core is solid?
Scientists use the difference in density between the inner and outer core as evidence that the inner core is solid. This was proven using seismic waves traveling through the earth.
How does Earth solid core affect seismic waves?
They go faster through the inner core than the liquid outer core.
Inner core state of matter?
the inner core is a solid
Why does the earths inner core remain solid?
it remains solid because of all the pressure. Also, it is solid because it is the inner core
What is in the earths inner core?
a solid ball of iron
What is the nature of the iron inner core?
The inner core is believed to be solid, based on scientific observations of seismic waves.
Which part of the earths interior is thought to be a solid?
the inner core
Is the earth's inner core solid?
Yes the refraction path of the p-wave tells us that the earths inner core is solid.
How Earths inner core is solid due to its?
The immense pressure from the layers outside of the inner core.
Which of the regions below the earths surface are believed to be solid?
It is said that the crust and the inner core are to be solid.
What are the parts of the earths core?
The solid inner and liquid outer core.
