What Part Of The Earth Does Not Receive Direct P Waves From A Quake? |
|
Answer» The shadow zone is the area of the earth from ANGULAR distances of 104 to 140 DEGREES from a given earthquake that does not receive any DIRECT P waves. The shadow zone RESULTS from S waves being stopped entirely by the liquid core and P waves being bent (refracted) by the liquid core.
