    Key Questions:

    1. (Physics Only) What type of wave has a frequency higher than the upper limit of hearing for humans?
      • Ultrasound waves
    2. (HT and Physics Only) What evidence did study of seismic waves provide?
      • (HT and Physics Only) Provided new evidence that led to discoveries about parts of the Earth which are not directly observable.
    3. (Physics Only) What produces Seismic waves?
      • Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes.
    4. (Physics Only) What type of wave is a P wave?
      • P-waves are longitudinal, seismic waves.
    5. (Physics Only) What type of wave is a S wave?
      • S-waves are transverse, seismic waves.
    6. (Physics Only) What can S waves not travel through?
      • S-waves cannot travel through a liquid.
    7. (Physics Only) What do P-waves and S-waves provide evidence for?
      • P-waves and S-waves provide evidence for the structure and size of the Earth's core.
