Both P waves and S waves travel outward in every direction from the site where the earthquake occurred. If Earth’s interior were entirely solid and uniform, how would an observer experience an earthquake that took place on the other side of Earth? Use the terms “P wave” and “S wave” in your answer.

Explanation:

Both P and S-waves travels as body waves within the earth.

They are seismic waves. P-waves are longitudinal waves and as such can travel through any material medium. S-waves are transverse waves can only travel through solids.

7.03-1.70=5.33 and 6.80+5.09=11.89 and 5.5-3.01=2.49

true. earthquakes are felt whenever there is a slip around a fault in the rocks below the earth. this reorientation of faults create sesmic waves and is known as earthquake, the severity of which is measured in richter scale. these are more prominent in hilly regions as the rocks usually form faults to balance the pressures on it.
