· Why can both P and S waves travel through the mantle?​

Sagot :

Answer:

Figure 19.2a: P-waves generally bend outward as they travel through the mantle due to the increased density of mantle rocks with depth. ... The bending of seismic waves is called refraction. 6. Figure 19.2b: S-waves do not travel through the outer core, creating an even bigger shadow zone for S-waves.
