Question

How are R waves used to explore the Earth's interior? C) They are not They are not and pressures and become P waves. R waves will change their vibrational characteristics at high temperatures and pressures and become P waves. Where this change takes place gives seismologists more evidence of the boundary of the Earth inner core. They velocities are temperature dependent. Seismologists can create models of the Earth's interior heat regimes based on R wave velocities. Their reflections show seismologists where density changes are abrupt. This indicates the boundaries of the various layers of the interior.
