Please let me know if I did #10 right and what #11 is? Earthquakes create energy

Question

Please let me know if I did #10 right and what #11 is? Earthquakes create energy waves which travel through the Earth. One type of earthquake wave, the S wave, travels through solids but not liquids. Make a prediction: would S waves travel through the mantle if it were mostly liquid? S wave would travel through the mantle if it were liquid. S wave would not travel through the mantle if it were liquid. S-waves are slower & cannot travel through liquids After monitoring earthquakes and the resulting seismic waves, geologists have found that S saves travel through the mantle. What does this information tell scientists about the phase of the mantle?

Explanation / Answer

Your Answer of Q 10 is right as the S waves are slower and can not travel through liquid medium.

Ans- 11-

The information of the behavior of S waves allows scientist to properly determine the change in phase as phase change in mantle is regions of major velocity change associated with high pressure phase transition.
