1. GenSci Item 02-04 Why can earthquakes be not detected at the shadow zone? A. The core stops S waves and bends P waves B. The mantle stops P waves and S waves C. The mantle bends P and S waves D. The core bends L waves www.upcatreview.com
2. GenSci Item 02-04 The shadow zone is the boundary between the solid lower mantle and the liquid outer core. www.upcatreview.com
3. GenSci Item 02-04 P waves can pass thru both solid and liquid rock. www.upcatreview.com
4. GenSci Item 02-04 S waves can ONLY pass thru solid rock. www.upcatreview.com
5. GenSci Item 02-04 When P waves hit the shadow zone, they bend due to the difference in composition of the mantle and core. www.upcatreview.com
6. GenSci Item 02-04 When S waves hit the liquid outer core, they stop . www.upcatreview.com
7. GenSci Item 02-04 The absence of the S wave makes it impossible for seismologists to detect earthquakes at the shadow zone . www.upcatreview.com
